Enough that you could spend as much as you would on a car, just to show the world where your allegiances lie? You'll want to talk to luxury watchmaker Romain Jerome (http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/13/titanic-remnants-find-new-home-in-luxury-watches/), then. It just unveiled (http://www.ablogtowatch.com/romain-jerome-super-mario-bros-watch/) a limited edition Super Mario Bros. mechanical timepiece that marks the 30th anniversary (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/19/30-years-of-super-mario-in-pop-culture/) of the plumber's adventures in style. And we do mean style: its 46mm case is made out of black titanium, and the three-layer dial is loaded with enamel-coated pixel figurines to remind you of Mario's early days. It's quite posh-looking, then, although the eye-watering $18,950 price will likely rule this out unless you're a high roller with some fond gaming memories. On the plus side, that ultra-rare Nintendo World Championship cartridge (http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/24/1-of-the-116-copies-of-nintendo-world-championship-is-up-on-ebay/) suddenly seems like a bargain.
