This piece belongs to a series of one-of-a-kind clocks produced during the early 1980s, made on special request for Patek Philippe customers.  The lapis lazuli and turquoise used in this exotic piece are typical of the jewelery and design of this period, with an emphasis on powerful symbols of status and luxury.  For similar clocks see Erhart, R., Demesy J., Patek Philippe, p. 217, 219 and 220.
Cats in ancient Egypt are auspicious symbols, deified and believed to ward off evil spirits.

The Swiss watch brand Tissot has been the official timekeeper of the most prestigious cycling races for many years.
This is a very important association in competitions such as the Tour de France , since victory can be decided by just a few seconds. This is why calculating the time gap between two riders requires technical tools that Tissot is able to produce.

For the last how ever many years, I've purchased watches which have barometers, a compass, and thermometer in there. I set them up, and calibrate them. But I have never once used those features.
I have never needed to look at my watch to see the weather. Or see what direction I need to go in. Or see what altitude I am at. I like having those features, because they're cool. But damn.
I mean, the watches do look like nice though. Both my Suunto cores, and my Timex has these facilities, and I like them.
They're very me.

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them
