Robyatt's Robin Wyatt shows off what may be the world's only vacuum-tube wristwatch. (Has Ken Kessler seen this?)

"Though suffering from a bit of tube 'bloat', the hour hand performed quite well. And the speed, extension and detail of the second hand was as good as I've ever seen. But where this tube watch really shines is in the accuracy and gorgeous spatial imaging of it's minute hand."
