Pardon me but I think you will all get a good laugh at this. Check out
http://www.thinkgeek.com and look at their selection of WATCHES.
There's one that's perfect for celestial nav, a replica of Stonehenge complete
with a compass, so you can determine local apparent time without any newfangled
chronogizmometers.
And, in a more modern vein, an electric Seiko wristwatch that has a replica of
the entire globe, which rotates once every 24 hours.
No digits, no hands, no numbers on either.
Now, if they could slave that last one to a GPS and a gyro servo, you could do
away with plotting and maps as well!<G>
