Show me your high-hat

**Captainhowdy** · 5th January 2014, 15:32

I've always liked to look of the high-hat glass whenever I've seen photo's of them, but I've never owned one until recently, imo they are a cool feature on a watch, so let's see if you agree and show me your high-hat photos of course.

Top hat, Paul... I think a high hat's a drum

**Yellow Jim** · 5th January 2014, 16:53

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a high/top-hat?

It's a crystal (usually plexi) that sits very proud of the watch Jim.

Technically they're a pair of cymbals. :-)

Thanks. Viewing the thread on my phone and it wasn't immediately obvious from the pictures but I can see where the name comes from now.

This is a high hat. Although it's actually a hi-hat.

**Wexford** · 5th January 2014, 18:32

A rather old and blurry phone pic, but it does capture the sunlight shining through the edges of the crystal, across the dial and out the other side, which is why I took it at the time.

**IanM** · 5th January 2014, 20:24

Poor pic. It's an oval crystal so cut away more at the ends.

Yes of course, the tall crystal gives it added beauty.

Thanks, this is my first "high-hat" - & true, it does add a certain something to the watch.
