Feel the Nostalgia with Farr & Swit's Retro Digital Mix Tape B Sides Vol. 2 XL Watch

Independent watchmaker Farr & Swit is taking us on a nostalgic trip back to the flamboyant 80s with its latest timepiece - the Retro Digital Mix Tape B Sides Vol. 2 XL. Inspired by the era of blank cassette tapes and the arduous yet emotionally enriching task of creating mixtapes, this retro digital watch combines simplicity, fun, and a splash of vibrant colours.

Sprung from the Chicago-based brand, this watch is an ’extra large’ variant featuring a slightly larger case size than the brand’s standard digital watches. It artistically extends the beloved and sprightly ‘Retro Digital Mix Tape’ collection - a series of economically priced, colour-varied watches that have garnered popularity for their engaging 80s vibe and striking resemblance to blank cassette tapes and Casio-powered designs.

The mixtapes were often decorated with creative and colourful designs with spaciously provided fields for personal handwriting - a truly individualistic touch. Whether it was titles or dedications, the handwritten notes became the final emotional garnish on these tapes.

This is the essence that Farr & Swit aims to seize in their Retro Digital Mix Tape Timepieces Collection. The watch celebrates the beauty of these personalized mixtapes and the emotional states they engendered.

With the advent of digital platforms in today’s high-paced world which allows creating and sharing playlists effortlessly, Farr & Swit encourages us to embrace the reminiscent simplicity and affection that came with the creation of the old-school mixtape.
