One leading watchmaker made inquiries of his customers, and found that the owners of these watches had nearly all had influenza. "Health conditions: do affect wrist watches," he said. "The wrist with its pulse is very sensitive. I have found that gold watches are less nffected than silver ones, and those on leather straps have been the worst of all." Doctors can offer no explanation.
