Many who travel throughout the world have to frequently re-adjust our watches for a new time zone when arriving at our destination. And those of us with friends and business associates around the globe often need to know the local time in multiple locations at once. Wearing a watch with a world-time function means that you can surf through the world's time zones instantly. Here are the top 15, from my blog, Watch-Insider.com. All of these watches, whether you refer to them as "multiple-time-zone," "world-time," or "unitime" watches make my list because they are easy to read and adjust, technically interesting, and great-looking. All are driven by mechanical movements with time-zone functions, either integrated or provided by a module, and all are great examples of traditional watchmaking. (To learn more about some of the world-time watches pictured, click on the links in the captions.)
