Thinking about it, I'm surprised no one's done a kickstarter to put a phone in a pocket watch case. You could get it put together in China for next to nothing and sell it to morons at a hundred bucks a throw, easy.

Don't have a link to it but there is a person doing that. Although you can't really make phone calls with it.

I'm going to assume the best, and say it's a stimming for autistic / neurodivergent people who stim or enjoy figeting? Whatever the proper terms are. There's already a market for it, this kickstarter is for stim toy with multiple functions. Just google stim toy.

Or is some rich assholes desk toy.
