The best toy I had when I was a child was a set of broken wristwatches,
and some jeweller's screwdrivers, together with the tool for removing
the backs of watches.

Of course, it helps to have an uncle who repairs watches, since otherwise
this can be an expensive gift....

I always thought I'd give something like this to my kids, but now
that we have entered the digital age, I wonder.  Oh well, TV sets
are fun, too;  but the kid has to be old enough to be given a
soldering iron.
