Whether you’re flying first class around the world, hiking the Alps or inking a deal on the other side of the globe, a good timely companion is essential when you are miles away from home. Parmigiani’s Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante, for example, features an innovative pusher system on the crown that allows the wearer to instantly reveal a hidden GMT hour hand.
It’s the perfect watch for those who appreciate a classic clean dial but still need to keep track of two time zones. In the Hermès Arceau Le temps Voyageur, a map of an imaginary world sits in the middle of the dial as a constant reminder to explore. Home time is indicated on the aperture at 12 o’clock while local time is shown on the domed satellite dial. The mobile disc is controlled via a pusher on the left that advances the dial along the 24 different cities representing the 24 time zones.
Finally, Tudor’s latest Ranger is made for intrepid travellers. It commemorates the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland Expedition, when 30 Oyster Prince watches (Tudor’s first selfwinding and waterproof watch) accompanied a team of researchers on a two-year mission to study ice sheets in Greenland. The new and redesigned Ranger includes new state-of-the-art technical features like a high-performance manufacture calibre, MT5402, as well as a “T-fit” clasp with rapid adjustment system. Available in steel, jacquard or a hybrid strap made of natural rubber and textured black leather.
