There is a photo somewhere of a similar one pulled from the rubble dumped by the Palestinians as they continue to destroy what is left of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

LOL!

I a million years, I would not have thought that this was a real product.

That is too nuts!

I’m sure it’s a traditional watch only with sundial-like components for hands. Pretty sure, anyway. :)

That one and other versions are on ebay! That’s funny...I had no idea either.

In a million years, I would not have thought that this was a real product.

Hell, they had sundials during the Stone Age. Some were even miniaturized so they could be worn as watches.

They had nice ones for fancy dress too!
