Question! What are some of the best dual time zone watches from Independent Brands or more niche watch brands (like GP and Breguet) !
My Dad is currently looking into buying a watch but his biggest requirement is that it can show him multiple time zones as he travels frequently and so needs to change the time frequently when he travels from Taipei to Singapore and then to Los Angeles to London. If you guys have any recommendations, please let me know! P.S. the travels mentioned were before covid

I like this one a lot: Breguet Hora Mundi (5717).
You can select two time zones and jump instantaneously between them by pressing the pusher at 8 o'clock (naturally the two time zones can be changed). Rather unique feature in a mechanical watch, as far as I'm aware (the instantaneous swap of 'local' and ...
That is a brilliant watch and is def on my list!
The only problem....something someone already mentioned before..... is that it is very expensive :p But that is def on the wish list!!!
There's also the Breguet 5707 reveil du tsar and Breguet 5547 Marine alarm
Same movement in dressy and sporty looks, 39mm and 40mm, respectively. The 5707 picture is from foxluck. This watch comes in rose gold and in yellow gold as well as in white. There are leather, rubber, and gold bracelet options for the Marine. ...
Thanks for the recommendation
I love so much that Breguet has to offer and they produce one of the best alarm watches!! Will def keep it on the list!
in 2TZ very hard to beat a nice Rolex GMT
i know it s not niche at all but in form and function you won t find better , of course if exclusivity is your main criteria than there are a couple of choices . A nice vintage PP for modest price,like PP5134R.
I totes understand the appeal!
Practical, reliable, and tough! Although, me and my dad both like watches that are more on the artistic side, independent and unique side! Our dream watch would be something made by a small artisan watchmaker with engravings and guilloche! Nothing against...
Girard Perregaux Classic WW TC.
One of my favorite among the brands you mentioned. ...
That is another watch on the list!!
It is a fantastic and pretty affordable watch for what it is! Really elegant, charming, and from a niche brand! Thank you
Vacheron Constantin's
Worldtimer shows most timezones, even the :45 ones like Eucla and Nepal which makes it unique
I will be looking into all of these version over the weekend 🤣😂
Thanks for showing/telling me about the extra versions!
I am deeply in love with my H. Moser Endeavour Dual Time in platinum
But it is now quite difficult to find. I love the fact that you can hide the second hour hand if you want to. All the best Nicolas ...
Wow!! Beautiful watch!!
Very elegant and classy!! I did not know that H Moser and Cie created dual time zone watches! Will add it to the list!
Lolz!! That is a great question!
One of the reasons I posted this was to find out a wider selection of watches at various price points to see how much watch I can get for the money! One of the top pics right now is the Parmiagani watch so below 20,000 USD but more around 10 grand USD. So...
I’ve always been a big fan of the Parmigiani Hemispheres
It comes in a variety of case materials for any budget, but what I love most is the hours and minutes can be set independently on the second time zone. I used to travel to India a lot, which is 9.5 hours difference from the East Coast, and that would have...
This is the watch that is at the top of the list, next to the GP!!
We love the current version and actually saw one in Singapore (before covid) at the atelier shop in Ion! ...
I agree with the Ulysse Nardin recommendation
The UN Dual Timeis practical and user friendly, and ranks among my favorite travel watches.
Thank you to everyone for posting recommendations and for helping me help my dad!
I unfortuantely am not sure when/if he will buy one but I will hopefully keep everyone posted!! Will list the current list tomorrow!
The Hemispheres?
It‘s been on my wrist on many trips around the globe. Technically and aesthetically, it is quite impressive. I found that it works both in a business as in a casual settings, which is quite important to me as I usually want to take only one watch when tra...
Toric Retrograde Hemispheres
The Toric Retrograde Hemispeheres is a better choice as it packs two independent tome zones plus a retrograde date feature, as well as a GPHG award to boot.
