ABSTRACT:
A timekeeping and magnifying device is disclosed. The device includes a watch and a magnifying lens pivotally connected to the watch. The lens may be pivoted away from the face of the watch to magnify objects. The device may include a light adjacent the magnifying lens which enables the device to be used in dark areas. Additionally, the device may contain a fastener which restricts the magnifying lens from pivoting away from the face of the watch. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnifying lens may be either pivoted about the hinge or detached from the watch. In alternate embodiments of the invention, a connecter removably holds the magnifying lens over the face of the watch. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the device further includes a second magnifying lens and a second hinge which cooperate with the first magnifying lens and the first hinge to form a telescope-like combination. A method for using the timekeeping and magnifying device also is disclosed.
