    At BBTS there is a listing and some prototype images for Transformers Chrono Label watches

    Both are Takara figures

    The 2 available are Auto Ceptor and Time Limit

    They appear to be watches that have the center peice transforming into a robot

    Here's a link to the website
    http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1884&category=5302

    Here's a mirror of the image they have for the watches:

    The price is pretty high, but it looks like they have a metal wrist band and a large lcd display so it may be worth the cost

    I wasn't too sure if this would really be a toy or what it is so I put it here instead of the toy forum, though if it does need to go there instead my appologies

    Didn't I have one of those in 1986?

    EDIT: Yeah I pretty much did...

    I was rocking a yellow one of those back in 1986... Kronoform if I remember rightly? Such a badass watch, wish I still had it :(

    For $300.00, that thing had better transform by itself and walk around. (either that or be made of Platnium)

    If it's an amazingly kickass watch (nice digital or lcd display, not cheap-o looking, etc) then it may be worth a second look. Then again, with an economy in recession and convention approaching it'll be a tough sell.

    I hope that the price is a typo or something. A simple transformer wristwatch, no matter how good the quality, is not worth anywhere near this much.

    Ditto. When I saw that the post said it was "expensive", I thought it meant like $90 or something. Which I totally would have bought, as I need a new watch anyways.

    But $280 is.... wow.

    I had a Kronoform watch when I was a kid! I loved that little guy. He was grey. Then some bullies attacked me after school one day. I got away but when I looked down I just had the strap on, no Kronoform guy. I went back and only found one of his legs in the gutter. :( 

    jerks.
