After many sincere requests and what seems to be an endless state of development, it is finally here. We are proud to introduce our first time piece fit for a smaller wrist, the unique inchTATIinch.
By replacing the 24-hour analog hand with a digital hand we were able to shrink the case thickness to where it is no longer objectionable. It is still a sizeable time piece, but the oval shape coupled with an embracing cuff leather band and a smoothly profiled case makes it a very comfortable wear for even the smallests of wrists.
The white version looks like a mid-summer day, the black inchTATIinch is downright stealthy.
Eliminating the analog hand turned out to have a silver lining, offering improvement in LCD readability.
At the oval center you have the steady beat of HRMIN or MINSEC, based on your choice. The 24-hour flashing hand points to time on the outside dial. 12 oclock noon is on the top, midnight is on the bottom.
This time display adjusts automatically for DST and is programmed for nearly 600 cities worldwide.
The outer golden dial of the LCD indicates solar time. It shows when the sun rises and when it sets. the length of day and night. The flashing hand shows you where in the daily cycle you are.
The digital readout will give you times for sunrise, sunset and solar high noon.
The inner yellow dial of the LCD indicates lunar time. It shows time for moonrise and moonset, moon up and moon down. The smaller circle indicates lunar phase while the digital readout will give you lunar illumination as well as the time and date for the next new and full moons.
It also features an alarm which chimes half an hour before and at sunrise and sunset, a regular alarm with 10-min snooze, a 24-hour stopwatch with laptime, a 99 minute timer with alarm, a past and future date time calculator and a 999 day countdown/up. The watch is programmed for the years 2000-2099 and has a back light for night viewing.
On solstices, cross quarters and equinoxes the watch will flash a solar pattern and display the event name. The digital time can be turned off.
The case has engraved symbols that coincide with a 24 hour dial. It is sculpted out of a chunk of stainless steel and fitted with an anti-glare sapphire crystal. The watch comes in an oval presentation box, with a spare leather band, intruction manual and a two year warranty.
As far as watches go, few carry as much useful time information as the inchTATIinch.
If you are thinking about getting a new watch, try this one.
PS Customers tell us the watches look much better in real life than they do in these pictures. They are right. The best is yet to come -
