Geneva Prediction Watch by Collectors’ Workshop
(c. 1983) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)Effect: A man’s pocket watch is handed to a spectator. It is a working, running watch. The spectator pulls out the stem to examine how the hands are operated. The performer takes the spectator’s wristwatch. The spectator closes the case on the pocket watch and sets the time. At the same moment, the performer sets the time on the spectator’s watch. The times match. You may repeat the effect immediately and indefinitely. That is the standard, well-known effect. Variations are, of course, limitless. Now, consider the extraordinary innovations, none of which was true with the original Stull Watch:
- The Geneva Prediction Watch is a fully functioning, accurate, quality timepiece.
- There are no settings or formulae to account for. The range of predicted times is infinite.
- The watch is purely mechanical; there are no electronics or external devices. It need never be handled by the performer. There are no sleights, peeks or accomplices.

Simple but very Effective!
When you think of special watches for magicians and mentalisits you typically think of two types: those based upon the Stull Watch and those Based upon Collector’s Workshop’s Perfect Time. Depending on who you talk to different people will rave about both types of watch. This beautiful watch actaully is different from both.
When I first received one years ago I was a little dissappointed because I was expecting Perfect Time. But over the years I have come to appreciate, and in some real ways, prefer this approach. The mechanism is no where near as complex as either of the other types of watch. But it is foolproof and works 100% of the time. There is no timing issues that you can experience with Perfect Time, and there are no ensuring they turn the stem a certain direction as you find with some Stull Watches. In addition you can predict precisely the time they will end up with, and it can be different every time.
This is a beautiful watch and deserves to be taken as seriously as either of the other mechanisms.
Highly Recommended!
