Matt Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Ladies watch? Sod that, I'd wear it. Quite a large face for a ladies watch I thought (or it's just my mother liking flippin' tiny watches that makes me think that). I'd probably wear it too, I like an unusual watch. I've got this Volkswagen Polo one that was from Volkswagen's launch of the facelifted 6n at the 1999 Frankfurt Motor Show. Pretty sure it was a freebie for people with a press pass, I've never seen another (and I have looked). Unfortunately the strap is made of two layers and the top leather layer has become detached slightly so I haven't worn it in ages.

UltraWomble Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 How about illuminated tyres? Goodyear tried this in 1961. The tyres were lit from 18 lamps within the wheel rim. Various colours of tyre too. Am not sure what that lady is doing with that coiled cord.

fraser.innes.3 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Brilliant but it doesn't look like it was actually produced. Google Books shows the original source for that piece as the October 1962 issue of Popular Science and companycheck.co.uk shows that Carquad Limited was incorporated in January 1970 and is dissolved. That is the total extent of information that I can find about it.Somebody is making them for motorbikes. I viewed a house 4 years ago that had one on the side wall.

Other items they tested included an expensive compass which took a navigation officer 40 minutes to adjust to a reasonable accuracy, then another at one tenth the price which was almost as accurate right out of the box. Plus a device intended to prevent dazzle from oncoming headlights by projecting "wonder mauve light" onto your windscreen, which was determined to be useless. face, Stanky, Junkman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
