commented on Why do Roman Numerals Suck? ·

I am trying to remember at which adolescent age I learned Roman nvmerals. How else was one to know when movies or buildings were made? Anyway, yesterday there was a comment on the appearance of an Arabic numeral on a pendulum clock. I went to look at my own to see if it shared it. Mine has Roman nvmerals and I just had never consciously realized it, or remembered it.

commented on Do you shower with your watch on? ·

commented on How important is water resistance to you? ·

commented on Well not a watch but is still a Hamilton timepiece ·
