Watch of the Day - February 5th

Today's Watch is a Raymond Weil Wrathbeast

Description: The Wrathbeast is a man's watch for a man's man. Featuring a complex silver face with beveled intonations and a heart of gold, to gaze upon this watch is to gaze upon masculinity itself. With a simple yet decidedly beefcake band of folded skymetal steel alternating with rich gold, anyone who wears this watch is granted a constant +2 bonus to both strength and charisma.

Interestingly, each unerringly masculine Wrathbeast is hand-crafted by a single elderly woman, who imbues the watch with concentrated machismo. Nobody knows where she gets the masculinity from, and nobody dares ask her.

History: Such a watch deserves, nay demands a rich history, but sadly Dr. Porter's Wrathbeast has a decidedly bland tale to tell. At a neighborhood flea market in 1920s San Francisco, this particular watch was pawned by a local businessman for eleven dollars (a small fortune in the 1920s, as you well know). It stayed with the gypsy woman who purchased it for over sixty years, until a young Dan discovered it in a shop owned by the gypsy's son.

Dan traded the gypsy exactly eleven dollars for the watch - while the gypsy was a keen seer and excellent medium into the spirit realm, she had no concept of the idea of inflation or even a basic understanding of business and thus had never raised the price of the watch.

The Wrathbeast remains one of Dan Porter's most premiere watches, and stands tall as perhaps his easiest, and cheapest, procurement to date.
