Waterproof watch from Swatch

Call it a cute bandaid for your wrecked travel schedule on a rainy day. This red cross-motif Swiss timepiece cannot reschedule flights or get you to the station in time, but it is easy to travel with, lightweight plastic on your wrist and 100ft worth of water resistance to stand up to the deluge. At the least, it is cheerful in a monsoonal grey cityscape, with its shiny red case and cross window into its inner workings&mdashreassuring evidence that something still runs like clockwork cogs, despite all downpours.
