<p>Nope. Check their Age (see DerivedAge.txt in the UCD). Their Age
is 1.1. And in fact, they go back even further -- they were
published in Unicode 1.0 in 1991. They predate the Japanese telcom
vendor sets that were incorporated in Unicode 6.0 in 2010.</p>
<p>They were later mapped to KDDI and DoCoMo emoji in 2007 (see
L2/07-257), so WATCH and HOURGLASS did exist in those sets, but
that wasn't their original source for encoding in Unicode.</p>
<p>I don't think they were in XCCS (the Xerox character set) or in
IBM sets. They might have been picked up as well-known computer
interface symbols from the 80's.</p>
