The
Jaeger-LeCoultre Hometime is designed for the man who juggles a second
time zone on a regular basis. The polished hour hand is your current
timezone, there is a blue skeletonized hour hand for your home time.
Should you be at home, the hands are superimposed. The hometime hand is
connected to the day/night indicator and the present timezone hand is
synchronized to the date display. This allows for very practical use of
dual timezone timepiece. Furthermore, few watches that offer dual
timezones have a date display that work as intuitively as this one!
