The history of single-hand timekeeping

Not sure if anyone had time to check out this cool article about the history
of single-hand watches. Thought you guys might like it.

In it, you find out how single-hand watches aren't unusual, or strange at all,
and how single-hand timekeeping began with clocks years ago.

Especially the incredible well known clock towers around the world because
they had to be seen from long distances, and timekeeping had to be quick
for people. Then from there pocket watches, and wrist watches used the idea.

Here is the article...
