It's not so much shiver-me-timbers as tickle-me-timbers with this fun watch by Flik Flak. The smiling skull and crossbones on the grey textile straps make a nice change from the more sinister ones we're used to. The face is black and silver with gangrene-green accents and has a chunky bezel with skull and bone details round the edge. Flik Flak watches are based on a concept developed by educators and psychologists to help kids to tell the time. They're Swiss-made with quartz precision. Tie the watch in a sock or pop it in a laundry net and you can put it in with the rest of the laundry for a wash in the machine.
