Timepiece Older watches with luminescent paint no longer glow. Sometimes only one hand works, or half the numbers, or hands but not numbers. Many substances were used to get watch dials to behave like this; not everything was radium. I worried that the painted dial of my father’s watch and the black clock taken from a German plane would make us radioactive. I stopped watching for the A Bomb, listening for its ticking, when I went to school though we had bomb drills. Brilliant white is still quite frightening. |
