If you like world time watches, you immediately have in mind Patek Philippe, Girard Perregaux, which both offered their modern vision in year 2000, with the 5110 and the WW TC, respectively. Jaeger Lecoultre came a bit after, circa 2005 with the Extreme W...  

I love this Time of Desert version.

On world time watches there’s one issue I have: the city choices. For example, I identify most closely in GMT+1 and +8, respectively, with Paris and Hong Kong. So I don’t want Geneva or Athens or Amsterdam, or Singapore or Beijing or Shanghai for that mat... 

Ooh yes! But which cities?

…or maybe we could commission one of those classical guilloché Metalem dials?????? Mmmmmmmmm Best E.

Good question

I kinda feel like having the full name of the city is more elegant. BUT it would be a LOT easier to use three-letter airport or city codes if you were to start customising the ring. Then the company just needs to have space for three letters at each of th... 

In 2021 during their 25th LUC anniversary….

They released a ceramised Titanium version which is quite tempting, limited 250pcs, still available. ...  

I really like this LUC

I wonder if this dial & movement could make it's way into an Alpine Eagle case to make a killer sports travel watch?

Agree! One of my favorite world timers and one of my fav in the LUC collection.

I've tried the steel version on and it's pretty amazing!
