Of course, the “pocket watch” itself is actually an iPhone with a binder clip and a wallet chain attached. As you’ll see in the video below, you’ll be able to get this watch by mailing Apple your iPhone along with $259 and they’ll send it back to you in pocket watch form. The product’s catchy slogan is, “It’s more than a binder clip and a wallet chain — it’s $259.”
