12. A toroidal timepiece comprising a body having opposed faces, means forming an aperture through each of said opposed faces to thereby provide a window through the timepiece, said aperture results in each of said opposed faces assuming a boundary which extends about and defines the configuration of said window and the configuration of said opposed faces determines the configuration of the peripheral edge of said body;
-
said window has a mean diameter which is at least one-fourth the mean overall diameter of the main body; indicator means on one of said faces related to time keeping, means housed within the interior of said body by which said indicator means provides data related to the time of day;
