This informative post will be posted on Saturday along with my usual writing.  We can all appreciate some of the lesser known facts from around the world.

Although often thought to be a contraction for the phrase “Swiss watch,” the name “Swatch” actually stems from “second watch” and the marketing campaign that introduced it as an inexpensive, casual, and disposable accessory.

These facts have been discovered in I NEVER KNEW THAT by David Hoffman (2009).
