¡Lo que me faltaba ya por ver! Este reloj de nombre Life Expectancy, nos va mostrando con rabiosa actualidad, el tiempo que nos queda de vida.
Life Expectancy
Así, una vez que ha sido calculado el momento de tu muerte, de acuerdo a aspectos como estilo de vida, nivel socio-económico y otros factores como si eres o no fumador, el reloj inicia una cuenta atrás que para los más hipocondríacos puede ser fatal.
Lo más curioso es que la patente es de 1991.

The last thing we all need is a gadget that is constantly reminding us of death. The Life Expectancy Watch displays and monitors the approximate time left in a user’s life. According to a patent filed in 1991 by New Yorker David Kendrick the watch has a microprocessor that monitors the passage of time in years, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Your life span is based on actuarial tables that determine your life expectancy based on smoking-status, occupation, socio-economic class or other health factors. So once your life expectancy is determined, the watch may count backwards until your time of death.
