I have found out....
The "Worldtime" feature is an alternative use of the central disk of the dial. The alarm disk carrries the major cities, with (in the case of the official photo) Paris corresponding to the triangle on the disk. You align the triangle with the hour hand, and you can read what time it is in the other cities of the world.
The new Memovox International (2010) will be using this approach.

The Memo WT and the EWA are not playing on the same background.
They can have a separate life, without problem for each of them. The Memo WT will be an elegant, dressy watch, while the EWA is obviously sportier. The size is not the same, also, with 40 mm for the Memo WT versus 46, 3 mm for the EWA. And, more important...
At first, I wondered the same thing.
Then I found some pictures on the web of the Memo Int'l and could see it is a more dressy watch, and nothing like the EWA, which is really a rugged sports watch. You are right, of course, we do not speak very often of the EWA on this forum. I wonder how s...
