Barometers Realm

The dial is encased in an elegant brass bezel, adorned with an intricate ornament in the form of a chain of small beads, tightly arranged along the entire length of the bezel. This delicate decorative feature, though subtle, creates a rich texture, drawing attention and adding sophistication to the overall design of the barometer.

The glazed cardboard dial displays a centimeter of mercury scale along with Vidi style weather indications written in French. The engraving combines serif and sans serif fonts, lending the text a dynamic yet elegant appearance.

A blued steel pointer stands in striking contrast against the light dial, bringing a sense of precision and clarity to the instrument. The dial is protected by flat glass with beveled edges, enhancing its refined appearance. At the center of the glass is a brass trend indicator, adding functionality and visual balance to the barometer's design.

A distinctive feature of PNHB products is the company’s trademark — a small circle containing the abbreviation "PNHB", usually applied to the dial or the back of the instrument. Additionally, the dial often bore the inscription "Baromètre holostérique" (holosteric barometer), highlighting the integrity of the construction and the absence of liquid components. The term "holosteric" comes from the Greek word meaning "complete" or "solid," and was first used by PNHB, becoming a hallmark of their barometers.
