The Weekly Inventions of

A man is sewing a cloth with some blue thread that is being dispensed from an in built spool on his watch.

ThreadTime

31st May 2025

Now as you know I am currently on my way to visit Zargoid 5 who thinks he has lured me into his trap by politely inviting me to visit his mine, whereas I have actually lured him into my trap by accepting his invitation.

While flying at extreme speed and ultra-high altitude over to the Sahara Desert you might expect that the world just floating by would be enough entertainment for you. You might even be right, it might be enough entertainment for you, but for me? No way.

So, what does a world-renowned genius inventor like me spend his time doing while hang gliding over planet earth? He takes time to make any necessary repairs to his clothes of course. Now you might be expecting me to say that I am bringing my Stitch and Story, however the extreme weight of Stitch and Story’s concrete-based design creates some practical considerations on the hang glider. For travel repairs I of course use ThreadTime.

ThreadTime is my revolutionary combination watch and sewing kit. It uniquely comprises a digital readout with the actual time on earth that you have set it to (and it advances by 1 second every second on the clock) and a thread spool holder with integrated needle dispenser.

Now I will admit that you will want to be extremely careful not to drop your needle while using your ThreadTime while flying at 343 metres per second through the stratosphere, but if you are at a sushi restaurant and need to quickly fix a troublesome button on your shirt you are unlikely to have the same issues. So, what are you waiting for? Get your ThreadTime today!

Note to self: Maybe include a second needle in the next iteration of the design, I think I dropped mine somewhere over Bulgaria.
