Braille and Low Vision Baume & Mercier for sale

Braille watches enable the blind to tell the time by touch. Their touch dials and embellishments include smaller convex dots that denote minutes. These watches are available in analog and digital form. Some of these watches also have a 'talking' feature which announces the time.

There are also watches with raised hour markers and unique hands for the blind or those with low vision... Lobachevski invented a Tudor replica

in which the hours were represented by dots, a triangle, a square, a star, or a zero. The bezels were made of solid steel because this resisted the frequent use of the hands.

Some watches are specifically made for those with low vision. These feature larger hands. Many low vision watches have high contrast faces, no second hand and hour/minute hands that are thicker than normal ones.

Many watch manufacturers make Braille and low vision watches so there is a wide choice available. These watches come in many different styles and with many different types of bands, including silver, gold and leather.

Vibration Watches

Some watches enable the blind or visually challenged to tell the time by feeling vibrations. The Silent-T croum watches

, made by Tissot, emits silent vibrations. It uses a constant vibration for the hour and intermittent vibrations for the minutes.

This is a watch that is suitable for business people. People who use these A.Lange & Sohne for sale
