Here is a very nice Howard dial a little different than the usally howard monty dial.

Backed up with a mint series 10 movement

Thank goodness "they" didn't go to the decimal system when measuring time way back when. I can't imagine a Montgomery dial with 100 minute marks

Samie, you scored again. Beautymous dial!

By the way...why didn't they use metrics with time? thy use metric time on stop watches.

I remember on one of my watch trips that I saw a very rare watch with 10 instead of 12 hours on the dial. Decimal time was most recently used during the French Revolution for a very short period. The whole day was divided into 10 hours total! See the Wikipedia entry here. They even have a picture of a 10 hour watch there.

Thanks Mike! That Wikipedia entry was a very interesting read.
