Keeping track of the worlds time. I am sure the IWC Pilot's Watch Worldtimer got its share of attention at SIHH 2012.
The IWC Pilot's Watch Worldtimer uses a pair of conventional hands to tell local time, and like the other new IWC Pilot's Watches released this year has a date window which displays three date numerals, the middle one being the current date. But what is impossible to ignore is the outer ring with the names of cities located around the globe, and the inner 24-hour ring.
The inner ring which rotates once every 24-hours serves as a the 24 hour hand you find in many dual time watches. It can be set and independently from the main hands.
It works this way. In the image above local time is 10:10. It is 10:10 p.m. in Dubai 6:10 P.M. in London, 12:10 PM in Mexico and 3:10 in the morning in Tokyo.
It's a big watch. IWC Pilot's Watch Worldtimer has a 45 mm diameter case. Inside is a still unspecified self winding movement with a 42 hour power reserve.
Being a IWC Pilot' Watch is has the soft iron inner ring which helps it resist magnetism and a sapphire crystal glass that resists changes in air pressure.
About IWC. IWC or the the "International Watch Co. Schaffhausen" was founded by an American engineer from Boston, Florentine Ariosto Jones, in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in the year 1868. IWC Schaffhausen is notable for being the only major Swiss watch factory located in eastern Switzerland, as the majority of the well-known Swiss watch manufacturers are located in western Switzerland.
