Cathedral hands are one of the most ornate styles of watch hands. These have been traditionally used in military watches, but they have also been popular with luxury brands.
The name “cathedral” is derived from the ornate stained glass windows commonly found in churches, which typically have three or four separate panels featuring different images. This style of window is known as a “cathedral window,” and it’s where the name originates. The term refers to the gothic architecture found in European churches during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods.
The main benefit of cathedral hands is visual appeal; their intricate geometric details make them more visually stimulating than other types of watch hands. But they also have some functional benefits as well: Cathedral hands allow for more precise readings at high speeds and low speeds; this makes them popular in aviation and racing applications.
Cathedral watches have been popular with collectors for decades because of their intricate design and rich history. Enjoy its benefits for some model of RESERVOIR watches.
