If you find a single hand watch difficult, how about a single-hand 24 hour watch?



I could not find any examples of a six hour watch and very few six hour clocks remain. The theory is simple. You always know if it is morning or afternoon and at night you can't see the clock anyway, so six hours is enough.

Just started watching an interesting film I taped last week called Longitude about John Harrison's development of an accurate marine chronometer.

An excellent read, especially if you are interested in horology.

If you haven't seen it yet, this is an interesting video on the Bremont MBIIs construction
