The 2009 Hello Kitty collector edition Swarovski wristwatch has arrived in Japan. The crystal encrusted watch, available in white or pink, has been designed in Italy by Vabene and manufactured in Japan by Citizen.

Citizen’s quality is high and the Swarovski crystals shine. Cheaper than the $3000 Neiman Marcus diamond-crusted Hello Kitty watch, still very well done, and makes a great present… to yourself.

Specifications: water resistant, 4.2cm (1.68 inch) diameter.

The Hello Kitty 2009 Limited Swarovski Watch is available from Gizmine for $580.

Swarovski, the Swiss Austrian company known for their precision-cut glass crystals, has now released a line of pocket binoculars decorated with shimmering crystals.

The design of the Crystal Pocket Binoculars creates an aesthetic alliance between innovative optics and stylish elegance and satisfies the highest ergonomic requirements at the same time. The eight times magnification and compact dimensions – (5.6 cm wide and exceptionally light at only 215 g ) – make the binoculars a versatile companion at the opera, at the races or out sightseeing.

An elegant leather case protects the high-quality optical system and increases the wear comfort. The shapely housing, studded with selected Swarovski crystals, turns the Crystal Pocket Binoculars into an exclusive eye catcher.

The “Idomeneo” model oozes a uniquely lustrous charm thanks to the application of sparkling gold-leaf; the design for “Tosca” captivates the eye with the shimmering, twinkling colours of the crystals used and the elegant “Nabucco” binoculars radiate a timeless beauty in dark colour tones.

The Swarovski Crystal Pocket Binoculars are priced at $950 USD each. All three models can be purchased from the Swarovski online shop.

Here’s something for all those pirate and bling bling-loving computer geeks.

The black Crystal Skull Mouse ($145) comes with “precision-cut Swarovski crystals and state-of-the-art 800 DPI optical technology”.

If you’re not into pirates, maybe one of these two computer mice in the same series can be of interest to you instead: Black Lizard and Swarovski GlamRock.
