Is a watch an organon?
 

A few nights ago, I was reading the dictionary and came across the word "organon." Definition courtsey of webster's:
an instrument for acquiring knowledge; specifically : a body of principles of scientific or philosophic investigation

My friend contends that each instance of checking the watch for the time is a philosophical investigation. That is ridiculous, when one is checking the time, they are merely asking a simple question.

A watch contains static information, although the time changes the information offered can only be the time, perhaps inclusive can be date, month, year.

You simply need a newer watch.

Personally, I'm a fan of the simpler automatics. Lately I've been collecting scads of the cheaper Japanese autos.
