Created by Louis Cottier in 1932, the Worldtimer is a classic complication that shows all 24 time-zones around the world at a single glance. The Aqua Terra Worldtimer includes 3 quintessential worldtimer elements: a city ring on the outer rim, a central world map that serves as the geographical projection of the earth, and a 24-hour disc, with day-time on a white backdrop and night-time on a dark blue backdrop. While truly innovative, this first edition wasn’t exactly destined for the everyman – its limited run of 87 pieces and price tag of nearly $50,000 probably have a bit to do with this. |
