listed on e-bay currently is an old deck watch (ships chronometer ) that has an unusual dial there are ten hours and one hundered minutes per hour and one hundered seconds per minute. Inside this outer dial is a conventional inner dial with the usual twelve hours and sixty minutes per hour. Is this somthing peculier to navigation or is it somthing made for post french revolution france gone metric crazy?
