I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and it got me thinking. Today if I am 15 minutes late it seems like a big deal but back then they didn't have watches to necessarily differentiate time on a quarter hour basis. If I was going to go to someone's house would I just say that I will be there sometime between noon and 6? Would they even say 4:15 or would it just be 4 - 4:30 - 5 - 5:30. I imagine in towns there would be a centralized clock but on homesteads I would imagine some people may not even have them. Were they cheap enough for everyone to have one at home? Would I tell a friend to meet me at 1pm at the saloon tomorrow or what. How did this all work?
