Can I get the time:
The Icelink Snow 6 Timezone Watch
The watch problem has resurfaced in a new way: a need for a time piece that depicts time in two or more places. A watch like this seems like a key to some sort of schizophrenia— an admittance that someone is trying to lead multiple lives. I found myself thinking of an old favorite movie, H.G. Wells Time Machine.
Time Machine, a 1960s film based on a novella first published by H.G. Wells in 1895, follows the travels of an English scientist who builds a craft capable of that oh so desirable temporal travel. Clocks of all sorts fill the scientist’s home. Traveling to the future, the protagonist adjusts rather well to the new era after some initial shocks, then dominates and directs the course of all humanity through his time traveling insights and donnish English morals. Control of time is equated with control of destiny.
Maybe coincidence that I’ve been wanting to watch it recently and having trouble keeping tabs on everything I’ve left churning in the US as a certain new sort of reality blossoms here in India under the sweaty sun? Everything else is somewhere else and to remind me there is this thought of a new watch.
The strangest will be when people come and go from the US to here, here in India to the US, because some part of me has fooled myself into believing only a few people can slip through this magic rabbit hole. When you pop out on the other side there is no doubt it will be topsy turvy and just plain weird.
