When will they be available in the IIS shop?

[Octane (Humayun)]

Sadly, these have been unavailable for a number of years now. They look beautiful to me.

I wouldn't mind one in a pocket watch style.

Very Dr Who.

You can't wear them on your wrist but this Emerald Chronometer app gives beautifully styled astro watches on your iphone or ipad.

I have one of the Citizen Planisphere type dials, but as a full sized wall clock - 400mm dial....

Was that Clint Eastwood doing the video demo?
Sounded like him

They're iOS only (iPhone and iPad).

There's also

- Emerald Chronometer HD for iPad (larger with higher resolution if you have an iPad3)

- Emerald Observatory for iPad only. This provides a rather nice desktop or wall clock with UTC, siderial and solar time and the visibility of he planets, the altitude/azimuth of 1 or 2 selected objects, and an eclipse simulator, an alsohas a nice pleasant alarm that sounds like an old-school clock. When plugged into power it can disable the sleep and screen saver function of the iPad indefinitely, if you don't mind burning it into the display.

Emerald Chronometer is lovely.

It's expensive for what it is, but, it is great eye candy!

Yes, and NTP accuracy is nice to have, too. Their other app, Emerald Time which is also NTP synced, has an audible second beat, with a louder 5-second beep. This is great for timing occultations.

Yes, nice eye candy for sure, but the Yes Watch is probably more functional though, but quite expensive for what they are.

Well, all Yes Watch models together provide but a subset of what Emerald Chronometer offers. Then again, it's an actual watch, not a piece of software with 20+ clock faces, so that makes it quite amazing nevertheless.

Cheers

IIS can sell you a star chart with a picture of a watch on it.

I want a larger one of these as a desk clock.
