Description

Half surface timing device

The present invention relates to a timing device, and more particularly to a half-surface timing device in which a time scale is concentrated in a partial area of the surface.

For example, watches, clocks, etc., in addition to displaying time, are often also a representation of fashion, fashion, and identity, especially those worn on the go. In order to make the timing device have a novel effect, there is a half-surface timing device 1 as shown in FIG. 1, which includes a housing 11 having a chamber, a transparent cover and protection on the housing 11. The cover 12, and a half cover 13 and an hour hand 14 installed in the housing of the housing 11. The housing 11 has a timing plate 111 facing the protective cover 12, and the half cover 13 is interposed between the timing plate 111 and the protective cover 12 and blocks a partial area of the timing plate 111.
