No one really NEEDS a watch these days. There’s a clock built into almost everything that has a power cord. What’s the point of looking down at your wrist to get the time when your phone is already in your hand? Because it’s fun, dammit. When it comes to fun watches, you need look no further than Mr. Jones. All Around the World is one watch face with one minute hand (a pigeon because all cities have flying rats) and eight hour hands. Each hour hand on the watch is a different iconic landmark that denotes the location (or time zone). London? Big Ben. San Francisco? Golden Gate Bridge. Paris? Eiffel Tower. You get the idea. It takes a little getting used to at first, but so did beer and look how that turned out.
