► SELLER'S DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is a rare vintage Alba Reiji Matsumoto Alien Talking Voice Watch, reference Y825-4020, produced exclusively for the Japan Domestic Market (JDM) in the 1980s. Designed by legendary manga artist Reiji Matsumoto, this striking and unconventional timepiece features a very unique alien face on the front of the watch, making it one of the most visually distinctive and imaginative watches to come out of Alba’s experimental era. Unlike conventional digital or analog watches, this model communicates the time through a talking voice function rather than a traditional display. When activated, the watch audibly announces the time, reflecting the playful and futuristic design language that defined Matsumoto’s work and Japan’s innovation during the 1980s. The watch is in full working condition, and all features and functions operate properly, including the talking voice function. All parts of the watch are original. The watch shows signs of use and age consistent with a vintage timepiece. The photos best describe its physical condition, so please review them carefully.
