Quite extraordinarily, when the wearer adjusts the Travel Time Pusher (located at 10’o’clock) it “advances the city disk and the 24-hour ring counterclockwise in one-hour steps as well, as the hour hand clockwise, also in one-hour steps. The correction is finished when the city name of the destination time zone is at 12 o'clock. During this process, the world time mechanism and the hour hand are uncoupled from the movement, so neither the amplitude of the balance nor the steady progression of the minute hand are affected,” says the brand.
Twenty-four cities are included on the watch, and each city accurately represents the time zones. These are updated for 2016 – for instance, Moscow has changed its local time from GMT +4 to GMT +3.
