The one in the second pic actually reads 2324hrs. ;) It is not so much of a wrist watch but a display timepiece. But if you wear it, it will sure attract a lot of onlookers! |

That certainly is unique. That has got to be a real conversation starter. How do you tell the time on it? |

Look at the second pic, the Orange DOT tells the minute. And look carefully at the globe, there is a tiny pin protuding out between position 12 and 1 o'clock. That's not all. the minute is very directly read (with the help of the markings on the bezel). Though there is no markings telling minutes but one has to IMAGINE that those numerical markings on the dial is of 5 minutes interval. The weird thing is the hour! ;) The protuding pin(hour hand) moves ANTI-CLOCKWISE instead of normal clockwise, and it moves one revolution every 24 hours. The markers on the bezel is the hours like a GMT bezel. The protuding pin(hour hand) is like a GMT hand but moves in anti-clockwise direction. Hence, the time on the second pic is 2324hrs. It can be 2323hrs too. For this watch, the EXACT time read is not so significant. In short, time is told with +/-1 minute. |

Some similarities: Both use half globe as dial and also almost semi-sphere crystal. Major difference: The Magellan employs hands while THINK THE EARTH uses indicators. Magellan is an auto watch and THINK THE EARTH is quartz. As I mentioned, Time reading the Magellan can tell on the dot while THINK THE EARTH tells to accuracy of +/-1 minute IMO. And price wise.....WOW WEE! I think you should know what I mean by WOW WEE! LOL!!!;) |

Wow!! How did I miss this one. sorry to be late Jacky. Very interesting and beautiful watch. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I can't even imagine the reaction one would get while wearing a TTE in public. You might be reciting your explanation over and over... It sure has a great look and your presentation is astounding. Right on, Jacky!! |
