A timekeeper for globetrotters, the Moritz Grossmann UNIVERSALZEIT makes it possible to see the current time in six different time zones simultaneously across the world at a single glance. Designed in the shape of a world map, the dial uses time windows precisely aligned with coordinates and city names as a means of providing orientation in terms of time and geography. A total of six windows displays the hour from 1 to 24 in each of the six cities.
Ref. MG-003072
