As our lives are increasingly conducted on a global scale, keeping track of time becomes a monumental task. Today’s finest watches are providing the tools that count—right on the wrist.
World timer watches that display the time in key cities around the globe and GMT timepieces that tell the time in a second zone feature the most sought-after functions available. What’s more, watchmakers have developed ways to make these timepieces more user-friendly than ever.
