    Thats a very nice gift Cliff! I don't think they teach them analogue time in schools anymore.

    I don’t think they do. It’s a Shame they don’t Teach a lot of stuff like they used to. Our Future Adults are raised to be Selfish and Condescending.
    Just my View/Thoughts.

    Skemi makes good watches. I have one with a Japanese movement. That said, mine is not water proof enough to withstand the rigors of washing a car.

    This is a cheap Chinese watch that has been reliable. Mechanical, hand wind, skeleton, stainless steel back and leather band. Can’t remember the cost but it was under $20.00 I think.

    Your post immediately reminded me of W.C. Ball's contribution to rail road safety.
    "In 1891, After the infamous the mail train collision between Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railways at Kipton, Ohio, which occurred because an engineer’s watch had stopped unnoticed for about 5 minutes, the commissioner of railroads appointed Webb C. Ball to develop and set strict accuracy" http://www.watcheshistory.com/ball-the-railroad-watch/

    Chuck, thank you for posting that, the history is one of the reason I purchased the watch.... but the tritium tubes make it look modern.
