37 time zones…
The 2011 Vacheron Constantin collection
is now up and available for your browsing enjoyment, and I wanted to
highlight a couple of my favorites now. First is this impressive new
“World Timer”, with a movement so sophisticated that it is capable of
indicating not only the full time zones, but also the partial ones
(such as those offset from Universal Coordinated Time (UCT) by a half –
or quarter-hour) — 37 time zones it total (if you knew this #, I am
impressed!). Not surprisingly, this exclusive mechanism is patented by
Vacheron Constantin. The display consists of three dials: a sapphire
dial with a unique day/night shading; a metal dial with a “Lambert
projector” type map; and a metal chapter ring.
