cornerstone Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 River's Turning Globe Watch Wow - it's certainly a conversation piece! There is, I should add, another WS-1 model with the earth the other way up - for those of us that are that way inclined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmytim Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I'm guessing most people will just ask why you wear a compass? But it is definitely something I've never seen in my life until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone0 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 To be honest I studied it for ages and I couldn't work out how to tell the time Ken You tell the time by looking at your location on the globe and reading the number on the outside rim of the watch underneath. In other words, on the east coast of the US, in the picture below, it would be about 8:30 or 9:00 AM. It's hard to tell at that angle.

It's actually quite a good way to tell the time around the world - would be better perhaps on a desk though. Mind you, I wouldn't want to boil an egg with this thing! Err, your egg's ready when Afghanistan hits where western Turkmenistan is right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Funnily enough it seems they thought of everything... I think the minute hand is that red dot. But even better - the original packaging contains a kit....to turn it into a desk clock! Smart cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) Hehe...it would be nice to be able to swap them over on a long haul flight! Although, of course, the true aficionado wears two of these watches at a time - one of top of the wrist, one underneath Looking at the pic, Antartica does seem to dominate southern hemisphere watch; damn geography. On a (silly) medical note - if you pull your jumper down over this watch I think you could pull off a great impression of a ganglion cyst!
