But this watchful eye is pretty beautiful.

No such thing, but you may be able to find your preferred watch in this slide show from Forbes. I like this one, for its simplicity...

Hmm... your watch seems to be Goofing off a little, Art. If you start with the 'right' hand, it seems to be 10 to 8 oclock, but you posting time is 8:48. :mrgreen:

Thanks for your notes.

Not a ridle, is only a question
I think the most beautiful watches that have been manufactured are the pocket
watchs.
History of clocks is little history of the technological development.
From a sand clock to an atomic clock

The atomic clock most exact of the world is a clock based manufactured an
aluminum atom.
Does not support an error in 3.7 billion years!!
In daily life we need a clock " relatively" precise.
I have a watch that has the mark of a Swedish Home Fragance. It is
Made in China and machine Made in Japan.
This clock is synchronized with Internet Time.

Watches and clocks are fascinating. These two are from the British Museum.

In its own way, Stonehenge was a timepiece, too.

Actually... It's time to get a more 'normal' clock :!: But it would seem that 'that' spiraling wall-hanger is presenting About 2:15 :?: :?: Am :?: PM :?: Maybe that little red button on the right side of it knows :?:

Time and exact watch
To test " Special Relativy" in time. took two atomic clocks synchronized.
One on land and another was put on a plane to travel.
Returning the traveler clock had a " backwardness" of 184 nanosecond.
( 1 nanosecond = one billionth of a second )
Traveler clock measured the time most slowly!!
