JW:
Maybe, maybe not... only time will tell, so to speak.

I recall the gift to Ron.  Who was the giver?  And how does it work? 
With its bizarre configuration, does it even tell time?  And think of 
it - soooo unique, yet now there are two of them? Go back to DD's 
last scenes in the cave and on the tower.  Any mention of his watch? 
Such an unusual instrument, such a detailed description, but no 
explanations... yet.  I recall a very unusual gift HP once received, 
without much explanation - turned out to be very useful, and it 
turned out to be from DD...

In any case, we DO KNOW that DD is an experienced time-traveler, from 
the instructions he gave Hermione in the hospital ward near the end 
of PoA... "three turns should do it."
