Overview
A weather watcher who wants a traditional instrument gets a Fischer barometer with a diamond ground brass ring, a mineral glass cover and real mahogany, made in Germany. A ring hanger is built in for hanging.
Craftsmanship and the dual scale dial are the reason to buy, with a reference pointer for tracing pressure changes and English weather words for a quick read. The limitation is use: it is rated for indoor placement and a stated maximum altitude, and it needs setting to the local altitude first.
Who it's for
Someone who likes traditional instruments and wants a decorative barometer that also reads pressure trends will appreciate the brass, mahogany and glass build. A manual in German and English comes with it. Those who need outdoor use, or a site above the stated altitude limit, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Brass and real mahogany build
- Dual hPa and inch scales
- Adjustable reference pointer
- English weather words on the dial
- Indoor use only
- Altitude must be set before use
- Altitude limit applies
Performance notes
The dial reads air pressure on an inner hPa scale and an outer inch scale, and the adjustable reference pointer is moved to the current reading so later changes show against it. The weather words are a general guide to conditions. Reading accuracy depends on setting the local altitude before first use, as the instructions describe.
