Dial Atlas

Compare two or three watches using IDs from previous results. Returns public facts; missing facts remain unknown. Full specifications and saving are available on the linked Dial Atlas pages.

compare_watches

Find iconic, significant or collector-favorite references, e.g. 'iconic Pateks'. Returns a varied editorial selection from published Dial Atlas collections, with a reason and collection link for each. Brand may be a collector name such as Patek. Explain that significance is an editorial selection, not an objective ranking. Never substitute documentation count or invent an endorsement. If no picks are available, offer a normal brand search.

discover_icons

Discover up to six watches connected by family, style, or era to a watch from earlier results. Resolve 'the second one' to its returned ID. For 'other brands', use style or era plus different_brand. For 'smaller', set max_size_mm below the anchor size. Family cannot span brands. This is a small selection, not a complete family or lineage export.

explore_related

Explore watches from natural descriptions, e.g. 'show me vintage two-tone Rolexes' or 'small dress watches'. No reference number is needed. Explicit filters are authoritative; use query for extra model or collector terms, without expanding synonyms already covered by filters. For follow-ups like 'smaller' or 'from the 1970s', carry forward previous preferences, replacing conflicting size/era/brand filters. Use discover_icons for iconic/editorial picks and find_worn_watches for people or screen appearances. Returns up to six varied public previews and the interpretation; do not paginate or enumerate.

search_watches

Find documented watches by character, person, film, TV show or historical event. Example: 'What watch did Tony Soprano wear in The Sopranos?' Pass identifying names such as 'Tony Soprano The Sopranos' or the user's question. Returns verified, sourced appearances, identification level and confidence. Preserve uncertainty; a family-level match does not confirm the precise reference/configuration. No evidence means unknown, not permission to guess. No external browsing or catalog enumeration is performed.

find_worn_watches

Get the public preview of one watch using an ID from search results. Includes its photo, basic facts, and the Dial Atlas link for its full dossier. Does not retrieve member-only specifications.
