A good watch tells you what time it is in relation to where you need to be. If you slave away Monday through Friday for The Man, it doesn’t need multiple time zones or a compass, it just needs to tell you how close you are to that magical time between 5:00 and 6:00 (4:30 – 6:30 if you work in PR) when everyone gets happy. The gentlemen at Happy Hour Timepieces took all the guess work out and removed all but the most important number and included a bottle opener in the band for those times when you have to start early.
