    mask with a clock?

    Does anyone know what the "mask with a clock" is that is mentioned in the interview with Caroline Golubitsky that is featured on the front page of fencing.net?

    I can't figure out if this is a translation issue or some new technical development.

    Was anyone else wondering?
    You know you fence too much when....
    you flip on the left turn signal, it flashes green and you think TOUCH LEFT!
    You know you're friends fence too much when they say, left is RED.

    As you may know, with the wireless systems the masks have three lights (one in the front/top and one on each side) that illuminate when there's a valid touch.

    I am not certain, but it may be that since they have electronics already in the masks, they may be discussing having a clock showing to the athlete inside the mask. But that's just a guess on my part.

    I would not think the clock would be very functional because your vision is focused on distance, so focusing on a clock inside the mask might be tough.

    If anyone is really interested beyond this, I can email Eduardo dos Santos and get an answer.
