How to Collect Star Wars Wrist Watches

Since the 1970s, "Star Wars" has been the basis of a multimedia empire -- the space saga is represented in movies, television shows, music, toys and even fashion. Wrist watches are just one example of how "Star Wars" has touched virtually every aspect of pop culture, as collectors may track down hundreds of different watches inspired by these films. If you want to collect "Star Wars" wrist watches, you have a lot of work to do, so figuring out where to start may be the hardest part.

Instructions

- 1
  Determine if there is an era of "Star Wars" on which you would like to focus. For example, you may want to collect vintage watches from when the original trilogy came out, or perhaps you want to focus on newer, prequel-oriented watches.
- 2
  Decide on your favorite characters. You may choose to collect Boba Fett watches, for example, or stormtrooper watches. Narrowing your focus, even just as a way to start, keeps your collection organized.
- 3
  Research different watches and determine which ones you want to start collecting. For example, you may want to collect watches by a certain manufacturer, like Fossil or Marc Ecko, or you may wish to collect specific sets, like the Darick Chamberlin Burger King set of 12.
- 4
  Visit memorabilia stores that specialize in collectibles. "Star Wars" memorabilia is commonplace in stores like these.
- 5
  Attend science fiction and comic book conventions. Vendors sell collectibles and memorabilia at conventions like these, so take cash and be on the lookout for watches both rare and common.
