You are looking for a watch that has a rate that can be adjusted to keep sidereal time and these were common in the olden days. Mechanical watches have an adjustment lever that controls the spring tension on the balance wheel to change the watch's rate. I don't know if modern electronic watches can be tweaked that much. gl --- On Thu, 2/16/12, Marco Costa <torinese1@hotmail.com> wrote:
