Stonehenge pocketwatch puts the guesswork back in timekeeping

Apparently the conveniences of modern technology have made us all very lazy. It's just too easy to tell time these days, which is why Sharpe Products is going super-old-school and selling the Stonehenge Watch. Although not the first portable sundial we've seen, this pocketwatch manages the perfect blend of style and street cred for the Druid-on-the-go. It's a throwback to the days before atomic clocks and internet time servers, when estimating the time to within an hour was considered deadly accurate. The Stonehenge has an exact, miniature replica of the fabled British landmark die-cast on one side, and a compass engraved on the other to help you get your bearings. Sharpe obviously realizes the frustration you may encounter using this archaic method, so they've thoughtfully included an analog clock on the outside of the watchcase. Not necessarily suitable for those in the Pacific Northwest, where the 364 days-a-year of clouds and rain will severely limit its usability.
