Sisyphus

Sisyphus

Why wear a watch that just tells you the time, when you can wear a watch that constantly reminds you of the futility of your very existence -- and tells you the time! The Sisyphus Watch is an attractive timepiece with a special feature -- Instead of a second hand, it has an eternally struggling Sisyphus pushing a mammoth boulder around the face of the watch. So forget about your Rolexes and Breitlings - this is the sort of watch that myths are made of!

Read/Write Review

Sisyphus was the founder of Corinth and one of the most crafty and deceitful characters in Greek mythology. He violated the laws of hospitality, seduced his niece, took his brother's throne, betrayed Zeus' secrets, tricked and chained the god of death, and escaped the underworld through his trickery. For his crimes against the Gods, Sisyphus was severely punished, condemned for all eternity to roll a boulder uphill only to watch it roll back down again.

Title: Cool watch - just take good care
I love my Sisyphus watch. It looks great, it's not so big (I'm a girl with very thin wrists, so it is an important aspect to), has overall a beautiful, simple design and good finishing. It stands out in a crowd: wherever I go, people notice it's just not the common type of watch. The only con is that mere days after I received it, I noticed water drops inside the casing. I didn't see it happen but I assume one of the kids at home spilled water on it. I expected the worse and put my watch on a drawer, not willing to throw it away immediately. To my surprise, after a few weeks it was good as new. It works as good as ever. I recommend it nonetheless, just advise buyers to take care and not let it get around water or humidity.

Title: Love it
Amazing watch. Love how all looks a it wondering what the hell that means. For those who catch the idea do nothing but laugh.Though, it would be unbelievable if it could only be bigger!

Title: Rock Extol
This watch is a subtle reminder to not let the grind get to you. I mean, jeez, i could have had my liver eaten by an eagle every day. We Sisyphusians have it good comparatively.

Title: An Absurd Watch
With the tick of every second, this absurd watch reminds one of the truly tragic continuation of the monotonous and frightfully dull life one lives, that, without hope, we can, like Sisyphus himself, find happiness from. And it also tells the time.
