Stanley wristwatches from Japan have different tools built in each watch - flashlight, hex wrench, screwdriver, measuring tape, telescoping rule and a mini-vice.

This is a factoid. Not a watch of the day. Factoids never have foe-toes

We all fall victim to gadgetry from time to time and although I do my best to avoid such, I must admit that have a few gadgets around whose usefulness is doubtful.

I believe that this must be the quintessence of gadgetry:

This discussion reminds me of my favorite line from the great movie "The Third Man," of 1949, starring Orson Welles as Harry Lime: "In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Actually, the cuckoo was invented in Germany.

Unfortunately, I know more about cuckoo clocks than I care to. I repair them for fun and frustration.
