If you walk around wearing this spiffy Higgs Boson watch, you'll be expressing a love for the world's most popular particle theory.

The design of the Higgs Boson watch features hands that are spiraled from the center, mirroring the shape and behavior of the actual Higgs Boson particle. The image depicts the Higgs particle decaying into other Boson particles. If you know what any of that means, congratulations, you're a better physicist than I am.

My favorite part of this [particle theory watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-planet-ii-black-star) from Neatoshop is the possible response when someone asks you the time. You could respond by saying, "It's time to explore the origins of life in the universe!" Then you could actually tell them what time it actually is.
