Today is June 19th and in the United States, it is also National Watch Day- a celebration created by Nordstrom, an American luxury department store chain. Hey Canada, can we celebrate too?

We think making this observation world wide is a worthy endeavor, without watches society would not have been able to develop in the same way that it has. Imagine trying to coordinate an activity with someone else based solely on the height of the Sun. Good luck with that or what if the famous watch wearing James Bond was forced to use a wrist mounted sundial? Ick.
