In my early days I worked for the govt in a top secret facility. Our dress was very defined, including tie and jacket and a watch specifically. You could be sent home for not having a watch on, unless you kept a spare somewhere. You see, cell phones were not allowed and the timing of certain events was precisely prescribed, so a watch was necessary. Due to security protocols, You DID NOT do anything at the wrong time, particularly meetings. A minute late and you were cast out and told to wait in your office. It took a long time to get over that programming, so sometimes I look at my wrist, see I forgot it, feel a pang of panic and then just as quickly, a sigh of relief as that world is far behind me.
