Who Invented The Cheap Watch?

Sometimes it amazes me just how inexpensive some
watches can be. Think about it for a second... even the most simple watch is
pretty complicated. (could YOU build one?) And they all have to keep relatively
accurate time.
The
cheapest watch we found on Amazon.com was a $17.46 Butterfly Ladies Watch. It's
a steal at this price, but we all have seen watches cheaper than that.
Just outside my window, there is a man selling
Men's & Ladies' Sets for just $10. That's for TWO watches in a very
attractive presentation box. My guess is that they are just making a dollar or
two off the sale.
In local drugstores here in NYC, it's not unusual
to see Dora The Explorer digital watches for sale for just a couple of bucks.
Earlier this year, I bought my kids McDonald's Happy Meals and the free prize
was little working wristwatches. You can't get much cheaper than FREE!
