Imagine for a moment that you're H.G. Wells, Ben Franklin, or Florence Nightingale. You've got some free time on your hands, a bag full of cash, and a handy time machine. (Maybe only H.G. Wells has a time machine, but it's our story and we can imagine anything we want.)
You've finished dinner and want to give your time machine a spin. If you're a famous historical figure, or anyone for that matter, certainly your first order of business when arriving a century or more in the future is to go watch shopping.
But what watch to buy? I thought about this and came up with a list of watches that some historical figures would want to have on their wrists when they return back to their own time.

Jaquet Droz Bird Repeater Geneva
Florence Nightingale

Richard Trevithick*

*Who is Richard Trevithick? Google to the rescue.
