Somewhere, in a drawer, I've got an expensive watch that has 4 divisions on the face for 12, 3, 6, and 9. So far so good. Each quarter of the watch face is then divided in half by a mark. WTF? Who wants a watch with exactly 8 marks around the perimeter for 12 hours? Unfortunately it was a gift from a significant other so I just put up with it for a few months and then stopped wearing it.
