Benrus Makes *The* Field Watch, Everyone Hates Standard Time, Plus Swatch's Internet Time!

The HourTime Show

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon).

One quick note: Producer Andrew is traveling over the next few weeks so Nicholas is handling editing duties. It *should* sound fine but, unlike Andrew, Nicholas is not a professional editor. You've been warned!

Moving on.

John opens the show with his thoughts on the Benrus 3061, which we basically all love. If you look up "field watch" in the Watch Geek Dictionary you'll see a photo of it. Not bad for a $600 jawn that was featured in the movie Bullitt!

We then turn to a topic Nicholas saw in a local newspaper about how everyone hates Daylight Saving Time, and that its days may be numbered. We go into the history or "point," perhaps, of switching the clocks back and forth every spring and autumn, and basically land on the idea of: pick one and stick with it.

At this point, Victor brings up Swatch's old idea, from the late 90s, of "Internet Time," which was an attempt to create a universal time zone, in a sense, that used a measurement called beats and was featured in Phantasy Star Online. Let's bring it back!

Victor then runs us through a $30,000 Zenith psychedelic chrono that he believes resembles those old Trapper Keepers.

Lastly, we go over the Omega MoonSwatch. Turns out that A) John bought one in Poland a few months ago and B) it's going on tour over the next couple of weeks in a few cities in California and Florida. So, if you want a MoonSwatch and live in one of these cities, feel free to hit up Swatch on social media for more details.

And that, as they say, is that.

Thank you for listening, and have a great week!
