Excellent, looks like wrist watches are perfectly acceptable in a 1920s setting.

Funny how much in our societies are a result of war.

Do you think people who don't wear watches are more relaxed in general?

[kingandy]

That does seem likely, but then, they'd also be late for everything.

well nothing fuels research faster than war

True, but in this case the wrist watch already existed as a woman's accessory - officers in the trenches adopted them as they were more convenient than fishing a watch out of the pocket. They caught on, the army started mass producing them, and the rest as they say is history...

i wasnt referring to the wrist watch per se, more to the comment about how much in our society was the result of war

I read something somewhere once that said that people who don't wear a wrist watch live longer as they are less obsessed with time.

I also find that once you haven't worn a watch for a bit you actually get better at judging time from the hints given by the world around you (sun movements etc).

I stopped wearing watches when I realised I usually carry around at least 1 other time source. I'm not sure what the microwave radiation does for my life expectancy though...

I would wear a watch but.... anything.. be it a wrist watch or pocket watch... or even mobil phone eventually just explodes in my pocket/ onmy wrist..... so I may well give up altogether and belate and unattainable

[kingandy]

Mmmmm, unattainable.
