Perhaps rather then being able to accurately tell the time to the second what's required is a reminder that the seconds are passing. Introducing the ChronosT (TM).
The watch comes in a variety of styles and colours. The point of similarity between them all is that they have no hands or numbers,
merely a flat panel. Whether worn on the wrist, as a pendant, or a fob, the watch produces a slightly enhanced ticking as a reminder that life is passing and that many of us believe we're only gonna get one spin.
Variations to the ChronosT might include a watch with a ranging tick loudness, or one that gives a single loud "tick" at unplanned intervals.

why not just take away the hour and minute hands and have a rotating bezel ?
you could always just count ? |

Thanks for the comment neilp - I think I'd better send the first ChronosT to you. |

probably just a personal thing [Non] - I'm more a sweeper than a ticker when it comes to watches. |

Could I get a digital one? The ticking on analogue timepieces drives me crazy. |

[yamahito] me too - I bought a new watch a couple of weeks back, and (because the shop was quite loud) I didn't notice the ticking noise.. It's fine to wear in public places, but I have to put it in my pocket at the cinema, and in a different room if I want to get to sleep. |

A digital version might have an LCD display that shows a pulse of coloured ripples each second... or possibly in time with your heartbeat. |

I like the thought of a sweeper and ticker version -- all you get is one second at a time. |

I really like this post. It's very existential. Inspired! |
