    What am I

    I look like a watch but I don't tell the time.
    I'm made of silver and I have an escapement.
    My dial is white and my numbers are black.
    I have a hand but I have no winder.

    I'm one of these...



    I'm counting on a precise answer.

    Look, I'm an old man. I shouldn't be expected to put up with this.

    Pocket Barometer. (aneroid)

    I presume you are giving it away as the prize

          No.. Zuiko wins. It's a Pedometer. It measures pedants. To be precise I think you'll find it measures the quantity of pedants.

          It passed though our house this lunchtime (like these things do) so I grabbed a macro shot of it.

          :-)

            That's a bit pedantic!

              Does a public footpath go through your lounge?

                I presume it was just getting into its stride?
