Watchismo is selling a few vintage “Muslim Mecca” watches that have compasses inside. (And, if I’m not totally dumb, markings for prayer times.)

its not for prayer times..its the compass for the direction of kaabah !
awesome! I really want one of these because I wear a watch and carry around a compass with me. but it is a calculator watch, so I might be losing some functionality…
Just don’t wear a Casio F91W to the mosque!
These are beautiful. I’d like to get one for a Muslim friend of mine, but I’m afraid it would be a sort of insult, as I’m not sure he’s the most devout Muslim. Gorgeous none the less.
There’s a “Jerusalem Compass” but no such watch for Jews that I’ve found.
