gran Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The single hand watch MeisterSinger 55 pieces worldwide..but not expensive at $880? Owing its origins to the sundial, the single hand watch first appeared as a pocket watch in the 18th century, and has not been produced as a wrist watch since the early 1900's...big deal The dial is marked in both hour and five minute intervals. To tell the correct time, simply read the correct two digit hour and count the number of five minute markers after the hour to know minutes I hope you like this GENUINE WATCH RANT OF MINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 A little late reading this gran but that is some watch. Neat mechanical that rotates hour hand once every 24 hours. Glycine has been making a 24 hour dial watch for some time but it is a 2 hand watch. Gerald Genta with his own new brand GeraldCharles last year started marketing their one-hand A-Evolution but basically it is the minute hand with a digit dial for the hours, not that unique except for the design look. I've been used to a one hand quartz watch for a couple of years as I own the Yes Zulu celestial timer and I usually turn off the lcd digits when wearing. The single hour hand makes one rotation per day. Can't tell the minutes but that's not the purpose of the watch, its so you know where in time you are in relation to the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moonphase.
