Getting sick of being asked for the time by total strangers on the street? These wasteful encounters can now be avoided thanks to the 'face-clock'.
The Roman numerals I to XII are branded or tattooed in a circle on the forehead and a miniature clock mechanism (with hour, minute and second hands) is
stuck or surgically implanted in the middle allowing passers-by to casually keep check on the time of day. The clock face actually consists of *your* face.
Now you'll be the one asking strangers for the time!

I have long pondered why these strangers do not have their own watches. After all, reliable watches can be easily bought for $5 to $10 in most locales. |
|
| |
Now, there are those would-be muggers or shills, who will ask the time in order to see the expense of your watch. Aside from those, however, I can only assume these people are looking for human contact, and you do badly to rebuff their advances. |

Btw, if you use a reverse clock, then you can tell the time simply by looking in mirrors or windows. |

Why should I have a clock surgically implanted on my forehead for the benefit of complete strangers? |
|
| |
Because you can! "What time is it?" "Why, it's left ear after nose o'clock. No, wait...sorry, I was looking in the mirror" |
|
| |
or maybe instead of painfully implanting mechanical hands into your face, your nose could act as the centrepoint of a sundial and simply cast a shadow on the time. |

Or for them to stop staring. |
