Diesel Time Zone Watch has More Time Zones Than You Really Need

Range — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:35:10 +0000

Looking for a new watch? I know I am and this Diesel watch looks pretty good. It’s unique in that it can display four different times on its face.

This Diesel watch is naturally called the Time Zone and it has both analog and digital displays to feed your fancy, no matter what the time.

It has a sleek leather strap and definitely looks good, although I have to say that I’ll probably get myself a GPS watch instead. Still, the Diesel Time Zone watch oozes style and will work well for frequent travelers.

It’s available from Nordstrom for $295 (USD).

5-Face Watch Knows the Time No Matter Where You Are

I was looking for a gift at Diesel and came across these sweet new (albeit behemoth) watches that have not one, not two, but FIVE faces to handle your different time zones.They’ve got a spot for LA, NY, London, Paris, and Tokyo.

While I applaud this concept, I have two concerns which I must raise. The first concern is for those people whose travel lives are not so banally predictable as to include only these five cities. Hello, DUBAI anyone? I mean, that’s where all the serious ballers hang out now. Bangalore? Shanghai? Reykjavik, even? Luckily Diesel is offering a smaller watch of the same ilk that forgoes the pre-ordained time zones in favor of making you memorize which face corresponds to which town. (I suggest you come up with a mnemonic device.)

The second concern is that this watch is either ridiculously large or that the faces are ridiculously small, just because of the fact that there are so damn many of ‘em. But if you’re a big burly dude with 20/20 vision, it might work for you.

You can buy them for a mere $550 (for the big silver one) or $495 (for the daintier, more adventurous black one.)

World Time Clock Tells Time With Nine Faces

Sure, there are plenty of clocks out there that can tell time in different time zones one or two at a time, but how about a clock that can simultaneously tell the time in NINE major cities across the globe?

Karlsson’s Time Zone Clock has nine individual 3.5-inch clocks built into its face. It can tell time simultaneously in London, Frankfurt, Moscow, Delhi, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, Los Angeles and New York. I guess if you live in the Midwest like me, you’re outta luck. The clock is made out of polished steel, and each clock features a convex acrylic bubble to protect the hands.

So if you just have to know what time it is on the other side of the world, you can pick one up for €79.95 (appx. $107 USD) from France’s Atylia.
