Chiquita Fanjita 1,781 Posted April 7, 2015 Theres quite a few 'one hands' out there in 12 hour config the markers are in 5 min increments usually so reading the time is pretty much OK Ive been eyeing this one on the bay which has an addition of a simple chrono: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181704845167 Did you buy it then Reg? My dad had one from his military days, but I haven't seen it in years. He retired as a DI from the USMC. Was it a Tissot too the same as I posted mate? To tell the truth, I don't really remember. The only reason I remembered it (beyond this thread) was because I wore it to school for a day and couldn't figure out how the time worked, lol. Could try a jumping hours instead You're just making things more complicated now Gerry 8 mins past 10? i like that one the best, is this one yours gerry?

FuzzyCoyote 2 Posted April 7, 2015 I think I would love to have something like it in my collection, but as a few have said I wouldn't know what the bloody time was half the times I look at it, would completely throw out my mind looking at it. Lol. Great to see though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1108 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Cool! I've been looking at a similar but newer one, don't know if I should buy one or not: The brand is called Slow. I've looked at these and the Glycine Airman. But I can't unlearn how to tell time - 10:10 would become 5:10, etc. It would make me nuts... and late to a lot of meetings. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grb722 0 Posted April 7, 2015 How about trying a 24 hour hand GMT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted April 8, 2015 Longines have one as well, saw one at a local jeweller at the weekend. They also have a single push chrono version which looks sweet http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/introducing-the-longines-twenty-four-hours-single-push-piece-chronograph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterPC 0 Posted April 8, 2015 Why is the 0/24 at the bottom instead of the top? Very peculiar and I would say unique placement (it is the only one thus far with this configuration among the watches posted). Well spotted! Guessing maybe to keep the 12 in its customary position. The Slow posted above too seems to have the same placement. Turn it upside down and wear it the other way around maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fancyaquickie 1 Posted April 8, 2015 Cool! I've been looking at a similar but newer one, don't know if I should buy one or not: The brand is called Slow. Has it only got one hand or are they overlapping? If it's only got the one, that would really confuse the shit out of me As far as I understand it only has one hand and shows the minutes as an ish...so the pic would be 16:30somethingish I have been thinking about getting one of these for sometime now. I keep seeing them. I got hold of one of these a year or so ago. Was cheaper via Amazon than direct at the time. Great little watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 994 Posted April 8, 2015 Nice! I need a 24hr in my collection but I'm still looking. Oke I know, unless you are at Scott Base, in a patrol sub or doing a 5 day derp thru the Paris Catacombs (on the bucket list) you probably don't need one but damn, it addresses something your average non complicated watch just can't compute. In fact it makes you wonder why the 24hr dial never made it as the norm. I guess 12 hours looks neater and it was assumed you could look outside for the required additional information. Shame that . . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose once you get used to telling the time on it, it becomes quite normal and you will always get people telling you your watch is slow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasserman 0 Posted April 9, 2015 Very nice looking watches, but I'm not smart enough for one of these. I would constantly be in a what time is state of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
