Cooler Than Your Wristwatch

It appears the Antikytheria Mechanism had an "Olympics Time" hand. (Not to mention a built-in manual). And here I thought having an extra hand on my watch for Greenwich Mean Time in 24-format was nifty.

    "Greenwich Mean Mime"? There's no such thing, you eurocentric, imperialist, timekeeping focused raaaacist!

    I've always liked the De Dondi Astrarium.
