This exquisite watch does more than tell the time. It shows the phase of the Moon and the position of the Sun among the constellations of the Zodiac. It also shows which constellations will be visible above the horizon at night, gives the tide times at ports around Britain's coastline, and could even predict lunar and solar eclipses.
