eBay watch: 1970s modernist wall clock

Modernist

Very distinctive and very much of its era – this 1970s modernist wall clock.

Produced by the London Clock Company, it has a futuristic 1970s look, aided by a face that's 'industrial brushed' plated sheet metal, with cube markers made of matt black plastic. There's also a German mechanism inside to keep it ticking over (alongside a single battery).

The seller claims it is in 'excellent condition' and 'good accurate working order', although the bottom left hand corner has a 'tiny impact dent' that is 'barely visible at all'. Fancy it? Bidding stands at £12.95.

Limited edition Adidas x Star Wars Skywalker boots

Luke

Looks like Adidas is still persevering with its Star Wars range, although these Adidas x Star Wars Skywalker boots might have a little more appeal for movie die-hards than some of the range we've seen.

I'll be honest, I'm a passing rather than an obsessive Star Wars fan, so I'll have to take the maker's word for it that these are based on Luke's uniform whilst on planet Hoth. Obviously with an old school Adidas twist, along with contrast lacing and stripes, Luke Skywalker tongue details and 'toy' packaging.

Highly limited, they're yours for £99.
