The Flux Capacitor that fits on your wrist

Everybody knows that the time-travelling DeLorean in ‘Back to the Future’ was powered by a Flux Capacitor. Now there’s also a time machine in handy wristwatch size…

We all dreamed of time travelling in the 1980s, just like Doc Brown and Marty McFly in ‘Back to the Future’. The technology behind the Flux Capacitor in the DeLorean remained a mystery, however. Not even Doc Brown’s explanation in the film could shed light on the machine. Now, thanks to the American think-tank ‘ThinkGeek’, it’s possible to wear a fully functional Flux Capacitor on your wrist. Priced at just 49 US dollars, this marvel of technology allows you to travel through time, albeit at a more comfortable 60 seconds-per-minute.
