There are details that will tickle collectors, starting with the name of the line: Salming played 1,148 games in the NHL. His jersey number, 21, is set to the left where 9 should be (2100 is 9 p.m.). The crown — the knob to wind the watch — is a puck. The second hand resembles the CN Tower, honouring Salming’s 16 seasons in Toronto. The back — which is open to see the inner workings — has his autograph.

It retails for $12,000, available only online. Kulleneberg said more than 2,000 have already signed up for early access, which more than the number of watches available.
