Today's Watch is the Boliva Hollow Man
Dear fans, after a brief bout with radical phalanges decomposition disorder, I have regained the use of my hands and will now be able to once again provide updates on the fascinating and dangerous history of Dan's watches. I apologize for the service interupption.
Description: The Boliva Hollow Man is a testament to openness. It is the watch version of wearing one's heart on one's sleeve. It is the proverbial 'open book' of watches. Featuring striking lines and sharp features, the Hollow Man would be an exceptional timepiece even without the open face and back that let you gaze upon the inner workings of the watch.

Yes, you read that right - the Hollow Man allows you to see past the metallic face and fancy widgets and into the heart of darkness itself - into the place where time is stored. Gaze upon the void, ye watchbearer, and see the rich abyss within.
History: This particular timepiece is incredibly rare in that only one was ever constructed. It is a unique device merely disguised as a watch, for within the gears and slipgnats and hobsnares lies the true depths of darkness itself. Designed originally by a man who was close friends with gothic horror author H.P. Lovecraft, the Hollow Man was originally meant to be a gift for the acclaimed writer. Upon completion of the device, however, the friend found himself so enamored with the inner workings of the watch that he changed his mind and kept it for himself.
Legend says he died holding the watch, staring deep into the abyss within, refusing to eat, sleep, or even drink water. He died without saying a word, only holding the watch in one hand, gently stroking the face with the other, and peering ever into the exposed workings.

Dan's Story: Dan obtained this watch while serving as a radio technician during the Korean war. While trudging across acres of dense, muddy woods, he spotted something shiny in the dirt nearby. He pulled the watch from the earth, and attached to it was the disfigured body of a woman, forever perched in a position where she could stare at the face. He pried the watch from her wrist, looked at it, said 'oh neat you can see the gears', pocketed it, and the rest is history.
