Studio Ghibli fans come in all ages. The Japanese animation powerhouse have been creating masterpieces since 1985 and their movies are beautiful enough to touch anyone’s heart.

Despite this, the idea of wearing merchandise for what would usually be seen as a children’s movie may be off putting for some fully-fledged adults.

But now even the most stylish of anime fans can add a little Ghibli touch to their everyday wear, without it looking out of place. Quality timepiece manufacturers Seiko have collaborated with Studio Ghibli to bring out these subtle yet adorable character design wristwatches.

There are 8 designs to choose from, which incorporate both sophisticated and cute colours to suit anyone. The underside of the watch faces also have Ghibli designs that prove the authenticity of the product. The underside of the strap has hidden character motifs as well.

Half of the eight designs are My Neighbour Totoro themed.

The other half are based around the characters from Kiki’s Delivery Service.

They will cost 9000 yen plus tax.

As well as these eight designs, there’s two limited edition My Neighbour Totoro watches to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the movie. Naturally they're a bit pricier than the other eight designs at 15,000 yen plus tax. There's only 1000 models of each design being sold, the engraving on the back will include an identifying serial number from 1 to 1000.

The watches will be available to buy online from July and the limited edition ones from August.
