Watches in the 21st Century

[Petrushka]

I have a couple of Citizen Eco Drive watches that I've had since before my first smart phone and I wear one or other of them every day.

It's become such a habit to look at my wrist for the time that I find myself looking at my watch even when I'm sat at my PC with the time displayed at the bottom right of the screen.

I have several Citizen solar powered watches. Don’t usually wear them, but I admire the technology.

Does wearing a Rolex get you laid?

Wearing one… not really; gift one - absolutely!!

For slide rules, Picket was the cheapie brand, and Keuffel & Esser the premiere brand at least in my circles. I have my old K&E slide rule (somewhere!), and also my father's, which was made in the 40's. I transitioned to electronic calculators between high school and college.

Slide rule precision was physical--were those wall-mounted slide rules marked to provide greater precision, or were they simple used for classroom instruction? I suspect the Picketts are the latter. Those are abundantly cool.

I had the K&E LOG LOG Duplex Decitrig in high school (1957 - 1959) and used it until the electronic calculators came out! I still have it in storage.
