From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Hardcore Donkey Kong fans listen up, because a one-of-a-kind, Nintendo themed timepiece has officially been released.
Luxury Swiss watchmaker RJ-Romain Jerome is no stranger to outlandish creations – from watches made of moon rocks and metal from the Titanic to a series of nostalgic video game watches. Think Tetris, Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros.
It’s latest creation? A Donkey Kong watch that features the primate himself alongside Mario and a few of those pesky barrels.
Limited to just 80 units, the RJ x Doney Kong watch boasts a 46mm titanium case, integrated ball-and-socket joints and a mechanical self-winding movement.
For committed Nintendo fans, it sounds like a dream come true - but there’s a catch.
With RJ-Romain Jerome’s wild designs comes an equally outrageous price tag.
If you fancy nabbing the monkey and plumber in all their pixelated glory it’s going to set you back a whopping £13,500.
It’s officially on like Donkey Kong.
