This battery-operated quartz watch for women is an example of the many timepieces available to blind individuals. On the face of the watch three crystals are arranged vertically at 12:00, two crystals horizontally at 3:00 and at 9:00, and two crystals vertically at 6:00; all other hours are marked with one crystal, enabling the owner to tell time by touch.
