A place to share and discuss Cassette Futurism: media where the technology closely matches the computers and technology of the 70s and 80s.
Whether it's bright colors and geometric shapes, the tendency towards stark plainness, or the the lack of powerful computers and cell phones, Cassette Futurism includes: Cassettes, ROM chips, CRT displays, computers reminiscent of microcomputers like the Commodore 64, freestanding hi-fi systems, small LCD displays, and other analog technologies.

I’ve been into retro futuristic styles for some time and cassette futurism is one of my favs, so I am hoping this sub stays active. I’ve started collecting some things that mimic the style.
Seems like a great model to base an esp32 + 3D printed shell on as a project!
I wad debating modeling out similar case for my apple watch since I don’t use it anymore.
This is what I thought it was at first
Just went on ebay to check the prices of these things and...damn...
Yes, it’s not a cheap hobby to get into. If you want a pristine one with a strap that has survived time, it’s an arm and a leg. I settled for beat up one and a torn up make shift band, but to me it adds to the watch.
It looks really cool, mate. Nice purchase. 👍
Omg the beveled edges on the display are perfection
It’s one of my favorite things
I've always really wanted a Seiko timetron, what a beautiful watch!
