Internationalization ranks one of the most important aspects of modern life. Services and goods are exchanged around the planet. Financial currents follow the opening hours of the world’s stock exchanges and flow around the world once each day. Residing in Germany, cultivating business relationships in the USA and enjoying holidays in the Seychelles: such arrangements as well as countless variations on them have become everyday features in modern people’s lives. But this global presence has its cost because the sun never really sets on our earth: only from the local perspective does the sun appear to sink below the horizon, while it simultaneously rises into the sky elsewhere on Earth. If an United states executive goes to a business dinner in Shanghai at eight o’clock in the evening, his family will still be fast asleep in San Francisco, where the local time is five o’clock in the morning, while his colleagues at European secret headquarters in Paris, france will be returning from their lunch break. Honestly, that is why global living makes it so important to keep a sharp eye on time zones and period differences in one’s interactions with partners, friends, colleagues, loved ones and clients. One certainly wouldn’t want to needlessly rise a loved one or a customer with an ill-timed long-distance phone call at night. Such accidents are the undesirable results of failure to take moment differences into account.
Watches that simultaneously show the time in more than one zone are accordingly an important speciality for watchmakers. Such timepieces belong to a genre in which Montblanc has achieved several attention-getting feats. These so-called “time-zone watches” can satisfy different requirements with regard to globetrotters and also frequent flyers. Among these functions are the simultaneous display of the times in both the user’s local and home zones or the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time +/- time period zone) function, but also the ability to show all of the planet’s 24 time zones at a glance, including day/night indication for the home zone, as well as showing the date, facilitating quick and easy changes from one zone’s screen to another, and so forth
Montblanc combines the TimeWalker’s modern, contemporary design with technical horological competence in three different interpretations for people who love to travel. Extremely practical functions for travellers are offered within the unmistakable TimeWalker look along with narrow bezel, spacious switch, unified typography for the quantities and well skeletonised ball to affix the wristband.
Montblanc TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres
The Whole World on the Wrist
Montblanc’s TimeWalker Hemispheres are a very special kind of world-time watches, which simultaneously show the different times in all 24 from the world’s time zones. The local time in the area where the wearer is currently sojourning is shown by the hands, while the flange around the call bears the names of twenty four cities, each of which represents one of the twenty-four time zones into which planet earth is divided. A 24-hour disc indicating the hours at the locations positioned radially opposite the actual disc’s markings on the flange turns at the centre in the dial. Presto! The wearer may instantly see which hour has chimed on timepieces in all on the world’s timezones.
That explains the functional principle with the mechanical Montblanc TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres timepieces. As an additional exclusive feature, Montblanc has enriched these types of timepieces together with another dimension. While the zones of time progress with the sun from east to west across the meridians of longitude, Montblanc’s latest creation also brings the north-south axis in to play because the Montblanc TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres is available in a northern and a southern version. The Northern Hemisphere model shows the map of your Earth as seen from the north using the North Rod at its centre; the Southern Hemisphere plan puts the particular South Trellis in the midpoint. Logically, typically the ring associated with place names on the North Hemisphere product consists solely of areas in that hemisphere; the southern counterpart bears only what they are called of places situated south of the Equator. These various perspectives naturally affect the time frame displays along with require corresponding adaptations inside the mechanical movements. Both models have figé rings around their dials marked with all the 24 place names from the relevant hemisphere, but the 24-hour discs inside centres put in opposite directions: the disc turns clockwise on the Upper Hemisphere watch, it has a 24-hour scale labelled anticlockwise; often the 24-hour disk on the The southern part of Hemisphere wristwatch turns anticlockwise and contains a 24-hour scale branded clockwise. The two TimeWalker World-Time Hemispheres versions differ not only because of their diverse dials, but also because these are equipped with distinct movements, which are necessary to move the 24-hour discs belonging to the two timepieces in the proper directions.
To ensure that the individual can keep an eye on the entire planet, through east in order to west in addition to from north to southern, the N . Hemisphere view bears the exact southern location names on its case back and vice versa.

This spectacle is packed into a stainless-steel TimeWalker situation which measures 42 milimeter in height and has a very narrow viser, thus leaving ample room for large and readily legible indicators: a time-zone ring while using 24 spot names, an hour circle together with the TimeWalker’s typical relief figures and charge, a 24-hour disc at the center (where it turns clockwise in the one model plus anticlockwise during the other) along with a window for your date in the “6”. To preclude potential confusion, the very northern design and the southern part of variant each has its own kitchen design. The Northern Hemisphere enjoy bears any silvery grey dial and is affixed to a sporty black leather strap. The wristwatch for the The southern area of Hemisphere has a dark anthracite-coloured dial and also a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp.
