Time You Got a Watch

 I used to love my Timex watch as a kid.

I dunno, there's something a bit James Bond about a watch.

Here's a few I spotted online. 

This is like Mother's. Watch with Mother!
Ha ha

The glorious Gilbert 007 boxed watch. Shaken, not wound.

Some chunky walkie watches for the local militia.


A modern Spy X.

A gorgeous old FBI timepiece. The eagle's carrying dynamite! 

A not so secret MI6.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service wrist.


Not so clandestine CIAs.




Do you wear a watch?

Did you as a kid?

  1. I did have a Sinclair Black Watch Woodsy, in the late 70s.
    Way more stylish than anything Bond ever had.
    All black, rectangular, red l.e.d.s, and no buttons (well, not visible anyway).
    Coolest watch in the school !

    2. Yes Woodsy, as well as calculators and early home computers, I believe.

  2. I have vague memories of having them as a kid. I wore wrist watches (I preferred Bulova) until the bands started irritating my skin and I switched to pocket watches. Then, as clocks were EVERYWHERE (stove, microwave, coffee pot, computer, iPad, phone, car dashboard, ad infinitum), I stopped wearing watches altogether.

    2. the electric coffee pots with timers all have a small LCD clock display in the front. Our Keurig pot has it as well as our Morning Joe pot. That said, the displays are too small for me to use for time keeping. I use the microwave for that LOL
