Hi all, just got this watch and what lead me to pull the trigger were the interesting pair of hands,
anyone know the name of this type?
Have a good weekend all!

 

Syringe? In his book Watchmaker’s and Clockmaker’s Encyclopaedic Dictionary, Donald DeCarle calls them “Golf”.

 

there use to be a list of different hands naming but unable to find the list... for now

 

Never seen anything like those hands, seem to be a variant or combination of hands... closet is breguet with a solid ring near tip instead of hollow combined with thin syringe hands. Curious if anyone can find out exactly. Looked up "golf" watch hands and all I found were youtube instructional golf videos.

 

Cervantes wrote ‘Don Quixote' in 1605, and he carried a lance. He used it for ‘tilting at the windmill’.

 

The Don Quixote model:

 

I like how the other dude on the horse is looking at him like "WTF are you doing?"

 

They should have fitted lance hands!

 

Some stuff I found here on OF:

We're going to need a bigger list....

 

Those hands images ought to be pinned somewhere. Useful reference.
