I was, of course, reponding to Jim Dixon's post. I still have my granpa's old pocket watch, and a five-yr old windup pocket watch that cost about 10 bucks. Neither work.

It's the 5000 dollar-plus pieces of junk still being made and sold that make me angry.

It's perfectly possible to create a watch that looks analog and has digital works for a small cost; I haven't seen one lately.

Clockwork was a miracle in its day. It's dead now, and should be buried.
