-"101- Orono W"eekly Tïimes, Wednesday, AprIl 22,1998 CIBC welcomes new manager more tiresorne numerals -- digital or analog. The Pasha Chronograph people have given us a watch so modemn it doesn't tell you what time it is. Hey! Post-Modern or what? The Pasha Chronograph doesn't even have a dial. Instead it sports what amounts to a fancy glass port- hole that-gives you a worm's- eye view of the innerwok ings of the watch as they grind away, doing... .well, flot mucli of anything, really, except grinding away. And just to cement the revolution- ary experience, the no-nurn- bers Pasha Chronograph also boasts 1no hands. Thats right! You might as well be wearing a hard-boiled egg on your wrist for. ail the time-telling th e Pasha Chronograph is going to give you! It's a weird world. 1 once knew a guy who was 50 worried abou 't being late that he wore two watches -- one on each wrist. The thing is, that guy was neyer sure whicli watch to trust. Whereas a person wearing one watch always knows what time it is. IJnless he's wearing a Pasha Chronograpli, I guess. I can hardly wait for the next big timepiece fashion break- through: no0 watch at ahl -- jusi a searnless expansion bracelet made of reinforced, platinum-plated titanium alloy. At Ieast you wont have to worry about getting it wet in the shower.
