Ok Jasmyn, the watch I am questioning is the one Dumbledore pulls out
of his pocket on Privet Drive.  From the text:

Started from PS/SS Ch1:
"...as he took a golden watch from his packet and examined it.  It was
a very odd watch. It had twelve *hands* but no numbers; instead,
little planets were moving around the edge."
[I, of course, added the asterisks]

It does mention that the watch has hands.  Twelve in fact.  Now he may
have a digital one scurried away in one of his other pockets, but the
one I was questioning was this watch.

And I don't think Dumbledore has this watch because it is old fashion
in style.  In fact, I would say it is rather advance from our modern
view of watches therefore making his watch a futuristic novelty.  He
is quite squirrelly for an old chap.
