Description

LES HEURES DU MONDE® renovates the concept of the world timer, whose readability anduser-friendship have been improved thanks to numerous technical innovations; the key onesbeing the following:1. This timepiece is equipped with a rotating city disc with 24 cities, one from each time zone,but the hour is read on a 12-hour scale (as opposed to all other worldtimers which have a 24-hour scale)2. It has a main day/night indication which acts as local reference for the traveller as well asan individual day/night indication for each time zone on the city disc. This is a unique feature.3. The movement is fitted with a date that changes automatically when crossing the date lineand this is a world-premiere.4. It is only worldtimer to take into consideration Daylight Saving Time.5. It is the only worldtimer that allows to move backwards when travelling to the west and forwardswhen travelling to the east.
