Perhaps the mechanical watch has still something to tell...
... the time!
I was at a Christmas Eve dinner, when somebody asked: “does anybody know what time is it?” There were no smartphones in sight, so a gentlemen next to me realizes that it is time to use the old remedies and pulls up its sleeve, taps on the face of his shiny Apple Watch and declares triumphantly: “sorry I ran out of battery...” That is when I confidently announced: “it is 11:45!”. You can only imagine how proud I felt! Merry Christmas |

I often go to a court that doesn’t allow Apple watches and cell phones. I’m like the magic man with my 18th Century technology. Can’t figure out why my colleagues don’t get a mechanical for such occasions.

Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care? If so I can't imagine why.....

This has to be what Aquaman feels like when the JL finally needs someone to talk to fish.

At my Christmas gathering 4 of 21 wore a mechanical watch; the rest wore nothing or an Apple watch
