Chinese Superstition: Never give a clock as a gift
The Chinese like clocks. Heck, they invented them. But they should never be given as a gift - least of all on a person's birthday. That would be very bad.
To receive a clock as a gift is to be told your time on earth is numbered. Its like an omen of impending death. Shutter. Ugh. Creepy.
Just don't do it.
Watches seem to be OK. But just to be safe, avoid the whole timepiece thing altogether.
