The Average Day

I've got a weird obsession with eccentric watches. It's totally irrational, and I usually try to avoid having things like "collections" that mostly gather dust, but a cool watch circumvents that part of my brain and directly activates the "neat-o" region of the prefrontal cortex, resulting in a new watch purchase more often than I'd care to admit.

Here's just such a watch. It's by a small British company called Mr. Jones Watches that produces all their designs in runs of 100. This one is called "The Average Day", and omits hour markings in favour of "units of median daily routine". It's a witty idea, and the design itself looks pretty slick. The outer ring represents AM activities, and the inner ring represents PM.



If an extra $200 falls out of the sky on my way home tonight, I will definitely pick one up.
