NEW! McMug (& McDull) Quartz Watch Unisex

McDull and his cousin Mcmug have a special significance to those who grew up in Hong Kong. Since the 1980s, when the cartoon duo first appeared in Ming Pao Children’s Weekly, they have been and still are an essential part of childhood. The comics follow the experiences of the kindergarten-aged piglets set against the humdrum of everyday life in Hong Kong, and through these characters, readers would experience a sense of innocence and absurdity that warm the heart. Yet, such a description hardly scratches the surface of its appeal; the series not only became a favourite of young children, but also found a particular resonance in adults. Its humour could as easily elicit a chuckle from a 40-year-old as it could a ten-year-old. Perhaps Mcdull and Mcmug have endured as cultural touchstones because co-creators Brian Tse and Ms. Alice Mak have imparted to the series a certain essence of their hometown. It is this sensibility – in equal parts funny, poetic, real, and bittersweet – that remains authentic and unique to Hong Kong. This official McMug watch is brand new, stainless steel with quartz movement and the adorable piglets on the dial. A cool collectors piece. From smoke and pet free home Same day shipping
