that looks like a tiny little computer graphics card on the bottom.
"interesting" is what you say about something that's... well... interesting.
this is just a sloppy mess.

"Someone said something about 'Lugs', does anyone know what they mean?"
Everyone shakes head.. "what are lugs?"
"No idea.. are they important?"
"I don't think so, otherwise we would have heard of them"
"OK, ignore lugs.. what's next on the snag list?"
"Someone said that telling the time might be awkward?".....
To be continued.

Re: Kickstarter - Halograph Automatic
Any guesses on what time it's actually displaying in that picture?

Cool looking way to tell the time, dial looks nice, but I don't like the lugless case (or anything related to the case actually).

Re: Kickstarter - Halograph Automatic
The circle at the top end of the hour hand is over the '1' in the photo so the hour is '1'. The other end of the hour hand is not over any numerals so it's irrelevant at that time. Think about what happens to the positions of the circles at the end of the hour hand as the hand rotates clockwise. When the hand is horizontal both circles will be over the '3' indicating that the hour is '3'. As the hand continues to rotate the circle to the left will move over the '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' while the other end of the hand is over the bottom part of the dial with no numerals. As the hand rotates further the original circle will cover the '10', '11', '12' numerals, and then start over at '1'. So all hours are covered by the rotating hour hand.

Re: Kickstarter - Halograph Automatic
No math necessary to read that watch, "kid". Andrew took his time to write a great explanation for you, least you can do is say thanks.hans wrote:Look kid, I don't do maths well, so miss me wit dat shiz.

Re: Kickstarter - Halograph Automatic
Its a novelty for sure. No different than the Hublot watch that looks like a ferrari engine.
Its a conversation piece not meant to tell time.
Too many other nice options out there for me to deal with this one and the challenges of time telling.
YMMV

Re: Kickstarter - Halograph Automatic
I don't necessarily care for this watch, but telling time on it is actually very easy. There are only two circles over numerals at any given time(*). The bigger one is over the hour, the smaller one is over the minutes. That's it.alis_aquilae wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 6:33 pmToo many other nice options out there for me to deal with this one and the challenges of time telling.
(*) OK, there are two circles over the minute and hour numerals when the respective hands are horizontal, but the numerals are the same so you only need to look at one of them.
