In the future, there will be natural and mechanical hybrids sent back through time to the past where they will protect humanity by saving the cheerleade… err, John Connor. Fortunately for us, we’re stuck in the middle – otherwise known as right now – so we get the best of both worlds. Well, as long as the hybrid you’re looking for is a timepiece and not a governating robot anyway. The Ben Sherman Digital Leather Watch is the perfect combination of cold steel and supple textured leather. An elegant mixture of digital technology and the skin of a cow. Strapping it on won’t send you to the future (or the past), but it will make you look like you just got back. The quartz movement will tell you precisely how many rounds of Black Ops you can squeeze in and still be fashionably late. It’s right here. What are you waiting for?
