Enjoying distribution through luxury retailers such a Neiman Marcus, Barney's, and Saks Fifth Avenue, ToyWatch is a designer hit from Italy. The brand takes inspiration from popular timepieces and playfully recreates them with an inexpensive and appealing result. Call this the recessionista dream collection. Prices are mostly under $200 for what I would consider a very unique collection.

On Tuesday January 20th, 2009 (this day only), the Gilt Groupe is having a sale on ToyWatch watches where prices are reportedly, "dramatically reduced." This comes as a good sign, during hard times. Despite the reasonable prices, ToyWatch has an impressive list of "Famous Wrists" that includes celebrities happy with their ToyWatch timepieces. You'll have to register with Gilt to take part in the sale, but it quick and free, and you need to click on the invitation link below. Despite their colorful looks, ToyWatch makes watches for men and women alike with their lightweight, plastic construction.

Cheap? Fake Rolex's? YOU are clueless these watches have been so successful that other watch designers have created lines to specifically emulate the ToyWatch look!!

And what the hell is the "G-Shock Swagger"?!?!?!
