Victorinox timekeeper (analog)
on: January 26, 2013, 04:41:30 PM

Anyone have one and carry it? I live the compact, and think that adding a clock would make for a minimalist edc (with photon light)... Is it a decent clock, or just hyped gadget?

Yup.  I have one at work.  It's great.

I have also modd'ed a Cybertool 41 with Timekeeper scales.  It's one of my favorite EDC's.

Search on Cybertimer and threads with pictures should pop up. :)

Nice idea. :tu:
I will probably also do it, if i find a Timekeeper again.
I have a Supertimer and the clock works perfect.

I have one, but no I don't crry it. To be honest I think it would make and excellent EDC item, but I tend to just throw everything in a pocket, and I'm concerned it would get wrecked in a very short space of time. If I come up with a means of carrying it which will stop it getting damaged, but also not be a pain in the butt to use (both as a SAK and timepiece) then I'd certainly give it some carry time

I use a Leatherman nylon sheath.  Works great.

I have a Yeoman I made out of a TimeKeeper, clock and all. It's been my EDC for three years with no problems with the watch whatsoever. It's pretty robust. I'd EDC a TimeKeeper without hesitation but I like the Phillips of the Yeoman.

Is that for the Cybertimer or a Compact sized one? I'd have though it'd rattle about a lot  :think: Which sheath do you use?

Thanks JB  :tu: Do you pocket carry it alone, or is it clattering against stuff?

Cybertimer. I thought you were saying you have a Supertimer (which is a SwissChamp with Timekeeper scales). :-[

:woohoo:

Fingers crossed I should have a rather cunning carry solution coming through for the Timekeeper very soon  ;)
