With Christmas only around the corner, it's that time of year again where we all rush out and buy stuff for our nearest and dearest. For uncle whats-his-face, you can always pick up a thingy from that shop he normally goes to! Whereas for auntie whats-her-breath, you can treat her to a nice big jar of those smelly things that may or may not be edible. Better yet, why not treat them both to one of the following items now on sale!!!
How much is it: £245
Who should you buy it for: People who can tell the time and have at least one wrist.

Tell me more: Do you know who manufactured this watch? It was the Police! No. Not your local constabulary, silly, as I'm sure they have other matters to contend with, like stopping bank robbers and dubious vagabonds. But rather its the other Police, namely their watch making counterparts.
They've designed this watch in order to celebrate the much anticipated Justice League movie, and it's limited to 8888 pieces worldwide. The timepiece itself comes in an antique stainless steel casing with a smoke-grey mineral glass cover, and that's complemented by black and gunmetal accents (which set off the dial), the official Justice League logo and shield placed at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively, as well as a sub dial etched inside the watch crown. It also has a black silicone strap inset with antique stainless steel elements, and each one comes housed in a gift box containing the official film artwork and its own individually numbered metal certificate, echoing the watches individual number inscribed on the case back.
