Beam me up!

£ 225

This playful watch was designed by French Author-Illustrator, Xavier Broche.

Beam me up! is a celebration of the unexplained: a visitor from outer space hovers above a farm, searching for life on our green planet...

A mischievous piglet in the field runs in an endless loop, trying to escape the beam from the UFO.

How to read the time

The time telling on the Beam me up! watch is integrated within the image:

  • The beam emitted by the flying saucer marks the minutes.
  • The position of the pig on the watch face marks the hours.

Xavier explains his inspiration behind the design:

“I wanted to describe an alien encounter in a playful way. I imagined how it would be for a simple pig to be at the heart of this historic event.

I found it funny to imagine the alien travelling endlessly across space searching for intelligent life, only to encounter a bewildered pig at the end of this epic journey!

Don’t worry about the pig though - he’ll outwit the alien in the end!”

Shipping guide for t-shirts

All t-shirts on our website are now printed and shipped by an external supplier inside the UK. This means that if you place an order for both a watch and a t-shirt, they will be shipped separately.

Our supplier uses a Royal Mail tracked service for all shipments and this usually takes a little longer than our watches. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

 

Please note, during busy sale periods dispatch may take a little longer (this is quite rare). These delivery times are a guide based on the carriers terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch.
