What is a California Watch Dial?

A California watch dial is a clock face featuring half Roman numerals (generally for 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock) and half Arabic numerals (generally for 4 o’clock to 8 o’clock). A dash might replace the hours of 3, 6, and 9 — instead of the comparatively unexciting numerical representation — and an inverted triangle might be used to represent the hour of 12. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, modern and contemporary watches.

Who invented California dial?

The California dial likely originated in the 1930s because Californians loved mixing Roman and Arabic numbers. However, the style grew in popularity in the 1970s when refinisher Kirk Rich was tasked with creating California dial watch faces. You’ll find a range of California dial watches on 1stDibs.

Finding the Right Luggage-racks for You

Antique, new and vintage luggage racks are practical pieces of furniture frequently found in hotels and other hospitality properties. While a sophisticated mid-century modern luggage rack might catch your eye in your favorite design-destination hotel, it can also make for a charming addition to a guest room or other space in your home.

A luggage rack is typically a simple piece of furniture with flexible straps or a flat surface to hold suitcases and other travel bags. They became popular in the late 19th century when large Louis Vuitton and Goyard trunks occasionally proved cumbersome on long trips. Instead, they carried suitcases.

The vintage luggage racks you commonly see are made of wood or metal with pliable straps. However, they exist in a variety of materials; a bamboo luggage rack can evoke the allure of distant places. An evolution in the design of luggage racks has brought with it embellishments to make them look more interesting or add some color.

Find vintage luggage racks made from materials like wood, metal or leather on 1stDibs, where a wide selection of styles, including mid-century modern, Industrial and Victorian, allows any traveler to find the right place for their suitcase to rest.
