In 1884, the attendees of the International Meridian Conference resolved to adopt a shared time system: the world was subdivided into 24 time zones. But the conquest of watches with time-zone displays did not occur until the 20th century, when it became possible to quickly traverse several time zones on board an aircraft. The LANGE 1 TIME ZONE is the perfect companion for frequent travellers and cosmopolites: it shows home time and the time in a second zone.
The large numerals scale indicates home time, the smaller one shows that of a second zone. Each of the 24 time zones is represented by a city name on the city ring. An applied arrow marker at 5 o’clock points at the name on the city ring, which represents the time zone that is being displayed. A time-zone correction pusher allows the city ring and the zone time to be simultaneously advanced by increments of one hour, corresponding to an eastbound trip around the world.
