Summary

Pathe synopsis: Some fascinating examples of timepieces of the future are seen on show at the International Watch and Jewellery Fair, in London, where there are such novelties as an alarm clock that turns on a light, and a two-faced clock (no, not for your two-faced friends, but for those in twin beds). On the more exotic side are wrist-watches - for the ladies, dripping with diamonds, and for the men, a cuff-link watch!
