Watch driven elapsed time indicator apparatus and its method of manufacture and use

A method of making an elapsed time hour meter comprising the steps of:

• providing an upwardly open, cup-shaped, lower housing having a plurality of spaced chairs, at least one shaft recess, and a positioning post,
• providing an electrically powered watch movement driving a minute gear and having positive and negative contacts,
• seating the watch movement on the plurality of chairs and positioning post,
• providing a rotating counter that measures the amount of elapsed time and supporting the counter on at least one rotatable shaft one end of which is received in the lower housing shaft recess,
• coupling the minute gear of the electrically powered watch movement to the counter,
• providing a downwardly open, cup-shaped, upper housing having at least one shaft recess, and a circuit board adapted to regulate electrical power from an external electrical power source and having positive and negative contacts for coupling said electrical power to the watch movement,
• conjoining the lower and upper housings and simultaneously making the respective positive and negative contacts of the watch movement and circuit board and supporting the other end of the counter shaft in the upper housing shaft recess, and
• displaying the amount of elapsed time.
