RE: Is This True
Hi, Laurie--

I've heard this story about the 7:22 analog clock and watch settings being out of respect for Lincoln's time of death all my life. I've also heard that the time is just set that way as it shows off the clock/watch to its best advantage, as the hands usually don't obscure text on the dial face when set that way.

But most clock/watch sales- and repair-persons I've met believe in the Lincoln version.

As for digital watch settings, I had one of the first digital red-number Bulovas, back when folks would stop you on the street to ask to look at it, but it was running when I got unwrapped it, and I suspect most of the ones sold back then were sold that way.
