Ancient Roman wristwatch?

There seems to be a proliferation of sundial watches here on Watchcrunch lately now that it’s summer (at least in the northern hemisphere). So I figured I’d post my contribution. I got this in 1990 or 1991 at Sanger- Harris department store in Arlington,TX.

The sales person tried to sell me one with a broken dial because she was sure it was removable for when you wore it! Uh huh🙄

Of course, the solar cell will last a few billion more years, and it’s no good at night, but it’s still fun to have around!

Unfortunately they've not invented a wrist worm Clepsydra for British summertime 🌧️🤣

Nice one! I really enjoy the infinitely long service intervals on mine.

Too funny. Honestly, this is my first one. Crazy how the concept of time captives our imagination. This is awesome
