DBS watch

Thanks Don for posting these great photos, the varying models show great inovativeness in design.
The DBS sidereal dial is indicating 12 hour periods, sidereal time is always represented with 24 hour periods as that is what astronomers use in observations.
This makes littile diference to the interest in the watch but how many really use sidereal time at all ?

My favorite among these is the TBR, but all the designs and complications featured are very impressive. Richard

I have never seen another bigger or more detailed moon phase on a watch. Is it a lacquered cream dial with blue lacquer on the moonphase? Thanks Don for the post. I enjoyed reading more about this brand Cheers Robin

Great report as always

I feel Arnold & Son were one of a handful of brands that really made a great showing this year. I love the stainless steel TBR. Dean

I truly was amazed by their offerings this year! [nt]

Hello David, You are right, sidereal time is usually displayed on a 24 base. The sidereal watch from Arnold&Son (DBS) also does that. The 24h indication is indicated by a small counter at 12 o'clock. By the way, I own two antic sidereal pocket watches...

We were able to see these in Los Angeles yesterday

AndrewD and I managed to hit a few watch boutiques yesterday, while "killing time" on our way to the GTG. Much to my amazement, one dealer brought out a display that was basically all the watches in this report! Andrew took photos and I'm sure we will see...
