Okay, I can't think of any teasers in the style you've got, but hopefully this will do. It's in two parts.
1. Which timepiece has the fewest moving parts?
2. Which timepiece has the most moving parts? |

Wow - didn't expect the right answers back as quick as that!
The answer I had for number 2 was hour-glass, but egg timer is obviously good too.
Your go Buzzie |

Here is another number phrase. Some of you may have had a go at the one in General (I think), but this one is one of my favourites that wasnt there!!

I know this one because I once suffered for days trying to get it in a big prize competition (which I didn't win). I agree that it's a fiendish one so I'll not put the answer on the site yet. I'll PM you to see if we have the same  |
