Golden time!



Megalomaniacal villainy and decent timepiece design are apparently compatible. Case in point: the Oddjob, pictured left, named after Goldfinger's mute assassin. It's one of 22 new models from Swatch's 007 Villain Collection, which includes watches inspired by everyone from Dr. No to Live and Let Die's Baron Samedi (he of the diaper-sarong and glow-in-the-dark face paint). If that last sounds unappealing, well, it is. Not every piece in the collection is as successful as Oddjob's, but then, not every villain was as stylish, either.
$235, available at swatch.com
