    The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that 80s TV show Voyagers! Take a look

    @J5Chicago: I used to love that show when i was a kid, but I have almost no memories of it. Looking at that intro, that's probably a good thing- Ahh, the 80s.

    I love the idea as a person who own multiple pocket watches. Couple of things the first is Its an Elgin I hope it had no value and could not be truly repaired. Secondly I am a hand wound watch kind of guy I won't own a digital pocket watch. Contradictory to the second statement I would own this watch for the pure geek value. I would like to see this with a smoked watch glass face so just the LED shine through. I will be going to the site to see what I can do to build one for myself.

    That watch is beautiful, and I am super impressed that you can actually set it using the knob. I never wear watches, but used to carry a (cheap) pocket watch until it broke, now I just use my cellphone. This makes me want a watch again.

    "Thank God we have a government"? That's the most profound thing he could think to etch into the president's watch? Isn't "Thank God we have an army" more appropriate? Or "Bless you, Mr. President; I hope you don't get murdered before this mess is over with and leave us with that drunkard you call a vice-president." Or maybe "Time to kick some rebel ass."

    @NoO&A_GitEmSteveDave: Did you know: O.K. is an abreviation for "Oll Korrect"? Seriously... back in the 1830's and 40's, a bunch of people started intentionally mis-spelling words because they thought they were being awesome, but were actually just a bunch of retards bastardizing the English language.


    WTF? Lol. 1337-speek ftw.
