I Do Like Watches,

they come in so many shapes, sizes and designs,


and all of the ones above all have one thing in common, apart from telling the time that is, they are all compasses, in fact any watch with a hour hand is a compass if you know the trick of how to use it, hold your watch flat and line the hour hand with the sun, the point half way between the hour hand and the 12 will be North, (in the Southern hemisphere line up the 12 with the sun), so you can work out your position from there, in normal circumstances a trick you will never need, but who knows one day it could be a life saver!
