Don't call your astrologer or family priest, you can very well look in your wrist watch.

For the first time, a Swiss watch has captured a dimension of time that helps you wait and reflect, defer and postpone decisions and actions, all with the aim of contributing to your success.

Borgeaund Watches, Switzerland has developed a watch based on the Indian almanac -- the Panchang -- that packs logic through a series of mathematical calculations on the movements of the sun, the moon and various planets. Along with the Gregorian calendar -– the one used worldwide -- these calculations are critical to the lives of millions of Indians.

"From the idea to the research and now to the final product, this has been a very interesting, informative and humbling journey for us," said Marc Aeschbacher, founding partner, Borgeaud Watches.

The innovation consists of the development of a complicated set of mechanical movements. Special components have been developed and manufactured for the purpose of capturing the intricacies of one of the key uses of Panchang calculations called the Rahu Kaal. This is a daily, non-consecutive 90-minute period which is avoided when important decisions have to be made. For the promoters of the project, this is not a 'negative' period as widely believed, but one of reflection and thought before decisions are made. "Life is about maximising one's chances and spreading the risk -- if waiting before acting is helpful, then why not do it," said Aeschbacher.

In addition to functioning as a normal watch, the Panchang line will automatically display the daily Rahu period which the promoters say is a rendezvous or an appointment with oneself.
