A braille watch is a portable timepiece used by the blind or visually impaired to tell time. It is used by touching the dial and noticing the embossments. Both analog and digital versions are available. The analog versions have a protective glass or crystal cover that is flipped open when time needs to be read and the clock-hands are constructed to not be susceptible to movement at the mere touch of the finger that a blind person uses to observe their positions. In the digital form, the dots (like braille script) keep changing position as time changes. In this case, one must understand the Braille alphabet to read the watch.

  • 點字手錶,或稱凸字錶,英文通稱「braille watch」,泛指錶面可以打開而錶盤上會有點字以供觸摸的手錶。點字手錶用意是給失明人士用手指觸摸錶盤上的時針、分針及點字,以知道當時時間。儘管此類手錶稱為「點字手錶」,英文稱為「braille watch」,但由於空間問題,錶盤凸出的標記並非真正的點字,多以凸出的小點代替,而「12」、「3」、「6」和「9」等刻度標記則多會有些許不同以便定位。為便於觸摸,點字手錶亦有另一特色是,錶盤上沒有秒針。 (zh)

  • Une montre Braille est une montre prévue pour être accessible aux déficients visuels (aveugles et malvoyants). En dehors de la montre Braille, il existe plusieurs solutions pour obtenir l'heure quand on est déficient visuel : * demander à une tierce personne : cette solution va à l'encontre de la recherche d'autonomie de certains déficients visuels ; * utiliser une montre comportant un dispositif sonore, par exemple avec des bips ou une voix artificielle : cette solution, peu discrète, n'est pas adaptée à la vie en société.

Electronic talking watches, which speak the time at the touch of a button, are also popular among people who are blind. (en)

C'est dans ce contexte que les horlogers ont inventé la montre Braille. (fr)
