1, Big Ben

bigbenIt might be one of the most accurate and famous clocks in the world but there’s no getting round the fact that it just ain’t going to fit on your wrist.  Not without some considerable pain, anyway.  And you’d probably go deaf the first time it went off.

2, Cuckoo Clock

cuckooclockAgain, it’s going to be a struggle to fit this on the old wrist – but it’s a more realistic option than Big Ben.  The only downside with this charming timepiece is that the little bird that pops out on the hour will no doubt have your eye out.  So it’s best that you use it along with some form of protective eyewear.

3, Atomic Clock

atomicclockYou’d never have to worry about your watch running fast or slow with this one.  Atomic clocks are THE most accurate clocks around, using as they do an atomic resonance frequency standard as their timekeeping element.  Which any idiot knows.  The downside is that unfortunately all atomic clocks come with their own suspiciously hairstyled scientist.  If you are averse to hanging out with such people (people with mullets, not scientists – they’re cool) then we suggest you go for more practical wristwear.

4, Grandfather Clock

5, Sundial

sundialPossibly the most ridiculous item on this list for the simple reason that you can only use it when the sun is out…..and you need to stand still all day….and it weighs a ton….in fact all of these timepieces are completely useless as watches.  If you’re after something more practical and stylish then why not check out a much more sensible selection of designer watches.
