La Chaux-De-Fonds based manufacture, JeanRichard, part of the Sowind Group, has released a preview of their new Worldtimer. It features a unique metal called Zirconium and it is powered by a new, modified version of their in-house movement, the JR1060. Instead of indicating the second timezone via an additional hand, this watch has an aperture at 12 o'clock that indicates the time digitally. The second timezone also features a day/night indicator. To control the second timezone, the crown on the left side of the case is used, and you adjust the city, using the city indicator window at 6 o'clock. This timepiece will be officially unveiled at the upcoming SIHH 2010, in Geneva, January 18th-22nd.

The TX World Time Sport is great for keeping time in a second time zone. At the push of a button, you can select one of 24 cities from around the world. After selecting a city, the upper left (second time zone) hand moves to the correct time. In the lower right of the dial is the daylight savings time indicator. This hand is adjusted via the pusher on the left side of the case. You can toggle between "summer" and "winter" time on the lower display and the upper display adjusts accordingly.

A. Lange & Sohne recently introduced a new version of their popular Lange 1 Time Zone watch. It features a slate grey dial with a new world time ring that now includes Santiago de Chile, in place of Caracas. The change was made because Venezuela changed its time zone from Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) to (UTC-4:30). The watch is powered by a manually-wound Lange L031.1 caliber in-house movement.

Here is a shot of Concord's new C1 WorldTimer Nightrace Limited Edition wristwatch. It features a DLC (diamond-like carbon) treated stainless steel case that is 47 mm x 13.55 mm. The case construction is comprised of over 53 elements, including a carbon fiber dial and Concord's signature vulcanized rubber inserts around the bezel. The movement is a Dubois-Depraz mechanical movement with a 42-hour power reserve. If you look at the big "C", at 9 o'clock, it is actually a subdial which displays the second time zone by city and hour.

This beautiful new Vogard Black F1wristwatch is the only watch in the world to change time zones via the bezel. The case is 43 mm and is made of extra hard black steel with a Titanium-Carbide (TiC) surface treatment that produces a nice black finish. The black and red looks really good on this watch. There were only 99 editions produced and at a price of $7,100 I am sure they sold out quickly.
