How to recognise one
Five marks make the look. The count says whether the one homage keeps each one.
Cream Arabic numerals
Large cream numerals in a vintage style mark the hours on a black dial.
Large onion crown
A big fluted crown with a bulb-shaped top sits at about 1:30.
Two subdials
A small seconds dial with a date at the lower left and a counter at the upper right.
Leaf-shaped hands
Cream hands with a leaf-shaped hour hand and a long pointed minute hand.
Outer minute scale
A railway minute scale with numbers runs round the edge of the dial.
Each close-up covers about 12.5 mm of watch, using the listed case width and estimated photo edges.
The one homage
