2. Celestial Watch
The Celestial Watch is a precisely designed analog quartz watch that
displays not only the current time but also the correct positions of the
constellations as they move across the sky. The Celestial Watch shows
azimuth (bearing) and altitude (angular position above the horizon) of the
major fixed stars, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, displays local sidereal
(star) time, stellar spectral type. The Celestial Watch also has features that
provide such convenient information as the position of the sun, the time of
sunrise and sunset, and thus the hours of darkness when astronomical
observations may be made.
