What embassies have an educational branch within it?

Chinese Branch Time

  • I want a Chinese wristwatch. Take a http://www.flickr.com/photos/-bazza-/95125754/in/set-72057594057590118/. I want one. It combines the normal Chinese numbers 1-12 along with their alternate time-style (expressed in 2-hour chunks): 1. 子 / zi3 / 1st earthly branch / 11 p.m.-1 a.m. 2. 丑 / chou3 / 2nd earthly branch / 1-3 a.m. 3. 寅 / yin2 / 3rd earthly branch / 3-5 a.m. 4. 卯 / mao3 / 4th earthly branch / 5-7 a.m. 5. è¾° / chen2 / 5th earthly branch / 7-9 a.m. 6. å·³ / si4 / 6th earthly branch / 9-11 a.m. 7. 午 / wu3 / 7th earthly branch / 11 a.m.-1 p.m. 8. 未 / wei4 / 8th earthly branch / 1-3 p.m. 9. 申 / shen1 / 9th earthly branch / 3-5 p.m. 10. é…‰ / you3 / 10th earthly branch / 5-7 p.m. 11. 戌 / xu1 / 11th earthly branch / 7-9 p.m. 12. 亥 / hai4 / 12th earthly branch / 9-11 p.m. Googling: CHINESE WATCH (or WRISTWATCH) mocks me, since it seems that the vast majority of normal watches are made in China. Thus, I get a bazillion useless hits.

Google mocked me too. I tried the name of the timepiece - Walensa? - but got nothing. You could contact the person whose flickr account it is and ask, maybe?

Yeah ... that'll be "plan B". Appreciate the effort though, t0astie.

Wow! What the heck did you use for keywords, helios? I SWEAR I checked ebay for about a half hour, and all I found was a waving Mao watch and some cartoon character. Fantastic!

I searched for "chinese watch" (without the quotes) and the results were full of pocket watches, so I tried "chinese watch -pocket" (w/o quotes) and that put them on the first page of results. Although it looks like you could narrow it down even further by adding -copper -red -mao, etc. By the way, http://cgi.ebay.com/Chinese-Alphabet-Bold-Pearl-Leather-Watch-wr254uk_W0QQitemZ250040068309QQihZ015QQcategoryZ290QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is the exact watch from the flickr photo.
