As a piece of history, it's hard to imagine something more interesting.
I think anything that reminds the world of the destructive power of nuclear weapons is a positive thing, so this watch making headlines is a positive thing.
Having visited Hiroshima, I can say it is very sobering to stand at ground zero.
I get the appeal of a warning sign against atomic bombs and war, but selling or owning the personal watch of someone who possibly died at Hiroshima feels impious to me.
Would be interested to see it in a museum, but wouldn't want to own it.
Let it not happen again 🙏 bless their souls
I wonderful of it is safe to own??
I find that quite macabre.
An interesting museum piece, perhaps, but as a personal collectible... eek.
Interesting but they have the watch displayed upside down. It appears to read 3:43 but Hiroshima was bombed at 9:15. If you rotate the picture 180 degrees, it now reads 9:13 so which tracks with the historical data. Somebody shoukd have done a little research. 😉

Right?! Radiation

I think it is beyond the destruction of nuclear power but also tragedies that pushed humanity for it, that is more important as whether we realized it, the world is moving towards it again lately.
I don't see it as impious at all. The greatest tragedy in my own lifetime was 9/11 and if I could own a timepiece from that horrific event I would cherish it as a means of honoring the Americans who needlessly died at the hands of terrorists. 🙏

I was asking myself the same question. Interesting for sure but looks radioactive af.
Heavy history indeed. Will we learn?
