F.Y.I. : Timely Faces

When it comes to telling time, one wristwatch won’t do. Not when there are so many stylish models with price tags that won’t empty your wallet.

The new Minnie Mouse watch by Lorus with a red-and-black polka dot rubber wristband is a bit of whimsy for a reasonable $34.95 at Feldmar Watch and Clock Center in Los Angeles.

More famous faces in timely places are found in the Memories Collection at the Soap Plant in Los Angeles. Autographed photos of Marilyn Monroe and Jimmy Dean are on the film-strip framed watch faces, priced at $45. Also from the Soap Plant is the itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny silver bracelet watch from Capezio for $100.

For timekeeping futurists the Match Watch collection has devices as intricate as a space ship’s flight panel. At K mart, $24.97
