The Ball Watch Company makes a great leap forward with this
five time zone wonder. An excellent timepiece for the global trader, it offers
the time in four major metropolitan financial hubs: London, Hong Kong, Tokyo
and New York.
It even offers discreet recessed buttons to correct for
daylight saving times. The advantage of using subdials (here with rotating
discs instead of hands) is that the watch remains exceedingly clean, for a
multiple timezone piece.
At this time, the company offers the four cities
pre-determined, pre-set and synchronized. Manual intervention to change the
settings is impossible so it will need to be corrected by Ball if one wants to
set one of the times to a different city.
Water resistant to 50 meters and measuring 43mm in diameter,
the watch is only available in stainless steel.
