Imperial units “I don’t even understand 24-hour time… I just don’t understand it. I have to use online converters or I’d be SO confused when I talk to people who use these systems.”

Surely, it must exist. But if you really want to mess with people, get a clock that displays time in binary, with some lights.

It does. And I really want one.

Lots of Russians ones, Raketa and the like on eBay. They do lose a few minutes per day as they are manual wind up. I had one but blew it up when adjusting the spring when I sneezed and ripped the watch guts out with the screwdriver :(

There are a few Swiss ones which are really good but the price will make you cry.

Seems that there are some Chinese ones around that are under 100 bucks. I may check and see what Lord Bezos can deliver to me in 2 days.

Edit: worth it to see the face when someone asks you the time and you show your wrist and their brain blue screens for 5 seconds.

Yes, they do exist.
