Pocketwatch Weather Forecasts

It's a throwback to a gentler time, when men all carried pocketwatches. And these days you can log onto the Internet and find more weather information than you can use. But there is something intrinsically classic about the Dalvey Pocket Barometer. It feels good in your hand, it's extraordinarily well made and finished, and it's a marvelous conversation piece. All that and it forecasts the weather too!

The case is stainless steel, the movement is German. What makes this version of the Dalvey of particular interest to sailors is that it comes with the America's Cup Jubilee 2001 logo laser engraved on a brass medallion on the case.

The Pocket Barometer can be read while walking, sailing, or you can fold it up into a tripod position and leave it in view on a sidetable. This is also a very limited edition, the licensing for the Jubilee logo expires on December 31 and no more will be available after that time.

Dalvey Products are made in Scotland with meticulous craftsmanship, they will last a lifetime.

Specifications: Diameter: 78mm (3 1/8") Weight: 175g Height: (open) 76mm (3")

The Jubilee model is available only through Washington Promotions, see wpi2001.com. It's $98. plus shipping.
