Baton hands

A type of watch hands that are characterized by their rectangular shape and straight sides. They are named "baton" because their shape resembles a small baton used as a musical conductor's tool. There are different variations of baton hands, including slim baton hands and broad baton hands.


Baton hands are commonly used in modern and contemporary watch designs, and they can be found in both formal and sports watches. Due to their simplicity, baton hands are known for their clear visibility, allowing the wearer to easily read the time.
