    So assuming you actually have to…

    You’ll need to do something that doesn’t come up in the social zeitgeist that often, but is instantly recognizable to anyone from that era.

    Maybe talk about how a lot of the time people’s watches said different times and you didn’t know which ones were right?

    Alternatively you can share some personal anecdote that relates to well known trends at the time. Like talk about listening to smells like teen spirit while smoking cigarettes stolen from your friend’s older brother.

      Umm this didn’t happen because you used quartz movements and called the atomic clock weekly. That’s normal right? that was a normal thing to do? On the third beep it will have been completely normal.

          No the watch doesn’t call you do and set it silly.

          Though talking clock lines have mostly been discontinued in favour of NTP. As there are probably more phone clocks etc than watches perhaps now, in a way, most clocks do call the talking clocks haha
