Cartier Captive Watch - Captivating Her at Once and Forever

You will notice the hour display placed in the upper part of the dial, while the small seconds display occupies the lower part. As for the minutes hand - it corresponds to our usual perception being placed in the center of the dial and moving along the dial circle.The described above variation of time display was especially practically useful in those times when the precision chronometry was *** the first steps. The observatories used grandfather or wall clocks that featured the same dial architecture. From time to time the marine chronometers also featured the separate arrangement of hands. This allowed to keep the slowly moving hour hand from hiding the important seconds hand.You can imagine that the seconds hand was all important for those who worked at the observatories or on board of navigating ships. Moreover, the time featured by new watch models produced by watch manufactures was set or 'regulated' according to the timepieces with separate displays.The IWC Regulateur watches reveal a precious chronometry tradition. They introduce everyone interested into the realms of watch*** precision instruments with the history dating back to the 18th-19th centuries. The IWC Company has enlivened and maintained this notable tradition through developing the exclusive Portuguese Regulateur timepieces that are destined for real connoisseurs of art of time-telling.
