My watch is cracked - "time" for a new one!

"Time for a new one" - wow, I couldn't resist. However, on a more serious note, I dropped my watch this morning on the cold tile of the bathroom. It landed with a perfect smack, face flat on the floor. Trembling, I picked it up, fearing the worst. To my shock and horror, the noble face of my once glorious Timex Indiglotm that looked like an old pilot's watch was cracked. I suppressed a sob, and a little pee came out. I am still in mourning. And why shouldn't I be? I am a product of the Industrial Revolution. I have bought into the notion that my life must revolve around my understanding and acceptance of the primacy of Western conceptions of time. Oh, to be an Indian with a dharmic karmic outlook on time and, by extension, the necessity of watches.

That said, I really have always wanted a hack watch, that allows the user to reset the second hand. The military has used these type of watches for almost a century - who hasn't seen a war movie where the commander says "On my mark it will be 12:34...set!" I would be thrill to syncronize my watch whenever I wanted. Although, as my dad pointed out, having a hack watch to syncronize is useless unless you know someone else with one. Any takers? We could coordinate a GSHA assault on Cool Bean's!
