			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;ve got a spot for LA, NY, London, Paris, and Tokyo.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3924 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/dieselwatch.jpg" alt="Diesel 5 Face Watch" width="520" height="511" /></p>
<p>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&#8217;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.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3925 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/diesel2.jpg" alt="Diesel 5 Face Watch" width="520" height="468" /></p>
<p>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 &#8216;em. But if you&#8217;re a big burly dude with 20/20 vision, it might work for you.</p>
<p>You can buy them for a mere <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&amp;itemID=41785">$550</a> (for the big silver one) or <a href="http://store.dieseltimeframes.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&amp;itemID=41784">$495</a> (for the daintier, more adventurous black one.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/time_zone_clock.jpg" alt="Karlsson Time Zone Clock" /></p>
<p>Karlsson&#8217;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&#8217;re outta luck. The clock is made out of polished steel, and each clock features a convex acrylic bubble to protect the hands.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s <a href="http://www.atylia.com/english/clock-design-time-zone.php">Atylia</a>.</p>
