A new toy for the superstitious
The section near 4 o'clock fills up to signify the unlucky period and slowly empties as the period passes
An excellent bit of thinking by an upstart Swiss watchmaker named Borgeaud. No, I’m not commenting on the choice of the company name, but their new series of watches. Called the Panchang line, the watches have a unique feature that make it the watch of choice for the overtly superstitious. From the company website -
In addition to functioning as a watch, the Panchang line automatically displays a daily 90-minute sequence called the Rahu Kaal or Rahu period. Important occasions and family functions, the signing of a contract, the conclusion of a deal or an investment, meetings, be they private or public, personal or social, are timed to work around the Rahu period.
Not to my taste, but will appeal strongly to quite a few.
