Our record with audio technology reads like the dating history of John Mayer – a slew of long relationships, a bunch more brief ones and a regretful one-night stand (the minidisc). Yeah, we’re happy with our mp3’s now, but just like thinking back on a past flame, we sometimes get nostalgic about our old cassette tapes. That’s the inspiration for the Deckster (the nostalgia of dropping in a tape, not old hook-up buddy part). The Deckster is a high end watch unit for your iPod Nano that draws its inspiration from slipping a cassette into your Walkman in the 80’s – you know, right before you strapped on your rollerblades. The dual-motion slider allows the watch to be worn on either wrist and the unit is made of aircraft-grade aluminum housing and handcrafted bands. Now, to build the perfect digital mixtape.
