Oh come now, you know that pocket watches are just a

passing fad, a mere fashion statement that the modern man  has invented to make things too complicated.  Nah, these trinkets that you constantly take out of your pockets, flip open, flip close god only knows how many times a day are a sure sign of the age of girly men.

True and manly men still utilize the real and most easily legible dials ever invented.  It has a limitless source of energy, needs no winding or shaking and is tough as a rock!  And talk about size, you think 60mm is big!  Not for this gorilla it ain't.  I am talking 16 in diameter [ and we are not talking lug to lug] , 3 in thick, 12 inches thick  if you consider the majestic height of the single "hand", single hand convenience, none of that shabby business of all those little hands moving all over the tiny dials confusing the manly man to no end and leading to all sorts of worries about whether his watch is a few seconds too fast or too slow.  And brother, you do not carry this clock in your pocket and certainly not on your dainty wrist, this here mother of all clocks you gotta LUG.  Yessir, you gotta carry this son of a granite rock with your two good hands whereever you happen to be going even if it breaks your back or falls on your toes and crushes a couple every now and then.  And don't you worry about the time after sun down.  All you gotta know is this....it's night time!  So you can have a restful sleep mate.  No worries about whether it is midnght or 2 in the morning or what.  It is night time and still not time to get up.  And if by chance a burglar comes a stealin' at night, guess what , that's right, this here son of a rock  is a bonafied  weapon, enough to stun a would be burglar.

JLC's been making these for quite a  while now.   Mine's even got the JL still easily readible on it.  Now that is a real clock
