ABSTRACT:
A timepiece for measuring the lifetime of a personal life time event (e.g., marriage, birth, the start of a career) from the moment of occurrence of the personal life time event. The timepiece comprises a housing and a timer contained in the housing. The timer is configured for measuring the elapsed time of the personal life time event from the moment of occurrence. The timepiece includes a starting mechanism for causing the timer to start measuring the elapsed time from the moment of occurrence. The timepiece includes a display for displaying the elapsed time. The timepiece may be implemented digitally, and include a processor programmed to measure the elapsed time. Memory would also be provided for storing data associated with the personal life time event, including the time of occurrence of the event. A keypad would also be provided for entering and changing the stored data. The memory may include a non-volatile memory component in which is stored the time of occurrence of the personal life time event. The non-volatile memory would ensure recovery of the elapsed times in case of a power failure or some other event which causes loss of elapsed times.
