What is it?
This is no “Wind Up”, ha ha (had to get that joke in before anyone else). What you’re looking at is a set of walkie talkies that are powered through the age old art of winding. Like clocks of old, to make these little eco-gadgets work you simply flick out the wind handle, take a firm grip of these Wind Up Walkie Talkies and “wind” like a good-un.

Or you might have already seen the nearest uses this gadget could be used for.
The microphone is cleverly placed so that you can clearly record while the watch is still on your wrist. This makes it very easy to covertly record conversations without raising suspicion. Perfect for people who need that extra bit of evidence or to catch that embarrassing info on tape that will allow you to extort pints from friends in exchange for your silence.
