Dezeen Watch Store: a limited edition watch that displays the time in eight international cities by British designer Crispin Jones of Mr Jones Watches is now available at Dezeen Watch Store.
All around the world has eight distinct hour hands, each in the shape of an architectural landmark from the city that they represent.
A pigeon, acknowledged as a global city dweller, counts the minutes.
This watch is produced in an edition of 100 and each one is numbered on the back.
Other watches by Mr Jones Watches include Cyclops, where a black hoop counts hours on coloured circles, and The Last Laugh, which tells the time through numbers on the teeth of a skull.
Dezeen Watch Store is a carefully curated online store specialising in watches by named designers and boutique brands.
Maybe if this were a 24h watch with the landmarks representing actual time zones… but that would mean a custom movement or printing the landmarks on a plate that keeps spinning with the Earth, like on some 24h Russian watches.
It's maybe different, but it's confusing and deceiving, which is the opposite from why I wear a watch in the first place. There are smarter ways to do it.
