The listing, Tom Peterson ltd edition Watch! Yes! the "Wake Up! Wake Up" Man! has ended.
A must have for any Nirvana, Gus Van Zant fan or Northwest Native!
I have had this Limited Edition Watch for over 3 years. Put in a battery & got it a band, have enjoyed wearing it. The battery lasted over 2 years. If I have the time, I will put one in it. Definitely solid & has held up well for a promotional watch!!
"Tom Peterson, an American retailer, pitchman and television personality from Portland, Oregon. His memorable television commercials and unusual promotions made him a widely recognized personality in the Portland area by the 1980s, leading to several cameo appearances in the films of Gus Van Sant."
Peterson has cited as his most successful promotion the Tom Peterson watch, also featuring his face. Peterson said in 1988: "It particularly went well with college youth. They're a big thing on campus. I guess it's kind of a cult thing."
Northwest native Kurt Cobain wore a Tom Peterson wristwatch, as did David Foraker, the attorney representing the creditors in Peterson's bankruptcy case.
Probably highly collectible, by now!!
Thanks For Looking & Happy Bidding:)
