Ardsley, New York (PRWEB) November 9, 2005 -— The Billable Hour Company sells watches and clocks that divide the hour into six-minute increments—the same way lawyers bill their time. Founders Mark and Lisa Solomon, both practicing lawyers, wanted to create “clever timepieces for lawyers.”

“The idea came up during a conversation about work,” said Mark. “Billing is a huge preoccupation of lawyers; it’s a topic of conversation everywhere they gather,” he explained. “Since lawyers often bill in tenths of an hour, at one point I said there should be special watches for lawyers that were marked every 6 minutes.” They sketched out their plan, and a business was born.

Lisa on the company’s goals: “The Billable Hour™ timepieces are perfect gifts for many special occasions in a lawyer’s life, like winning a big case or closing a big deal, graduating law school, passing the bar exam or being admitted to the bar, making partner, and joining or opening a new firm. They also make great ‘thank you’ and holiday gifts.”

Lisa suggests that lawyers give The Billable Hour™ watches and clocks to other lawyers, since the timepieces are both practical and fun. “They’re also a particularly good choice for other professionals who want to thank lawyers for referring business to them,” she continued, “because the recipient will think of the gift-giver every time he looks at his watch, which will keep the giver top of the mind when it’s time to make another referral.”

The company offers two watch styles—a black leather band or a gold-tone band—and two desk clock models. The timepieces are sold exclusively through the company’s website: www.TheBillableHour.com.
