Around the World

around the worldThis timepiece, manufactured by Mr. Jones, has a single-jewel quartz engine, a case size of 37mm, not including the crown or lugs, and eight hour hands, shaped to represent eight landmark structures at eight different time zones.  Hence, at a glance, you can tell the time in San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Chicago, NYC, London, Paris, Istanbul or Moscow.  And these interestingly carved hands give the dial a decidedly abstract and artsy look.

I purchased the watch online at Watchismo.com for under $200 in November 2012 (the price has risen slightly since then).  If you are interested, Mr. Jones is coming out in August 2013 with a 24-hour dial that has sixteen hour hands, also available at Watchismo.com.
