Central Germany but it's still COLD. Spring is keeping us hopping just to keep warm. SIGH!

Ruth Wöhlk May 28, 2013:

Yes? Where?
Ok, here the sun is shining in this moment, but it starts to cover again.

@Ruth Good morning! Yes, that's why it is not considered correct "Fachjargon", but more a colloquialism. Have you heard the latest? The sun is actually shining over Germany!

@Ramey but "Ziffernblatt" (clock face) is only one part of the "Uhrkopf" or "Uhrenkörper"

Oddly enough this term cannot be found int he Swiss Dictionary of Horology http://www.fhs.ch/berner/?l=en Google translates Otto Frei with "Uhrkopf" as the term for a watch without an armband/strap. another term is "Zifferblatt", but is considered colloquial.
