That, I guess, is the intended pun here. I think he would have worn at least 2 of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He often wore three watches, as I recall. One set to the local time, a second one set to the time where he was going to fly to, and a third set to GMT (Zulu) time. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but that was how I remember it being explained to me this past summer. Yeah, a dual watch like that would be real handy if you do alot of traveling/business that requires keeping track of time in two different time-zones.

JohnA Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Mr. Paul would have LOVED it! I think Miss Valerie would have, too, because her sweetie would have looked more elegant. Steven is correct. The multiple watches began as an aid to flying. i have always had a watch with multiple time zones for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Favog Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Then pass me whatever it is your on..... Many, many years ago when my Grandmother had the family Christmas Party\Family Reunion at her house the main focus of the party was in the finished basement with a wet bar and the works. On one of the walls was an oversized pocket watch clock (~10" dia.) that ran backwords with the numbers being backwords too. This was quite teh confusing puzzle for this lad of 4 years old.

mungkiman Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Tom, Was your grandfather a barber? I remember sitting in the barber chair as a kid, looking in the mirror, and seeing a "regular" clock. Of course it was the reflection of a clock like you have described. Just curious.

Her mother was a lady named Yanny Verdin of the Verdin Bell Co. http://www.verdin.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
