I've got
A Chairman Mao wavey hand wristwatch that a friend brought me back from China. It keeps terrible time.

Dictator endorsed products are always shoddy.

But maybe that's the point of them.

I got a Chairman Mao cigarette lighter in China.
It played "The East is Red" when you opened it and burned with a red flame. It lasted about 3 weeks and then died.

I've got one of those too...
I bought it in HK, but decided not to give it to anyone, as it didn't really work. You have to wind it every hour or so!

Under no circumstances,,,,
drop it.

I had one, and just as I was about to hand it over to have a new strap fitted (my lard-arse wrists being larger than the average oriental) it fell on the floor, never to work again.

I but a bunch of them for about a tenner and distributed them amongst freinds.

Other classic finds in China that I bought were
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of an alsation dog
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of a Horse (about 6 inches high and 8 inches long, weighed about 1 kg)
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of a bullet
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of a bike
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of a pencil
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of a pair of glasses
A cigeratte lighter in the shape of a a cigarette
