Telling the Time


A Swiss firm has developed a very expensive watch which has no dial. Instead it tells you the time with a series of chimes. Retailing at $350,000, it's accurate only to one minute.


I'm convinced that if someone were to develop a watch that consisted of nothing but a slab of gold or platinum with an permanent dial etched on to it, making it accurate only twice a day, and price it at $500,000, some daft bugger would buy one. To make it even less accurate, the dial could be etched with a single, digital time in 24 hour notation, making it accurate only once a day - that would make it even more exclusive and worth having by those with more money than sense. In fact, why not make it totally blank?

I would like one that displays the date/time and runs backwards so that we can all become younger.
Can you fix that Sir ?

That Sir, is the infamous Brexit watch.
