A question of vocabulary
What is exactly a WT watch ?
Even if the watches of this thread are fine, we can't call them all "World Timer".
For me, a true World Timer is a watch with which you have the simultaneous display of the time of the 24 timezones without operating the crown. This requires a hours disk independant from the timezones one.
The most famous WT watches come from PP, GP, JLC etc...
But for example, this Lange is not a World Timer, it is a complex dual timezone:

Lets see your World Timers
Since I'm a big world timer fan, I've seen some really nice ones, Well online anyways lol. So lets see some real live shots. I tried to take a pic of the one I own, but my webcam sucks and I have no high resolution camera, I need to buy one. So since my p...
I will play...
Lange 1 Timezone PG Gray dial - the actual color of the dial is in fact paler than the picture. Cheers Sam...
The sexiest world timer of all...

Another Tissot WT checking in
Cool Navigator, Graham! Here's a pic of the mine. I bought this one some months ago from an antique market. It has a great funky 70's look to it, that I appreciate a lot when I wear it. Have a great weekend, mate! Alex...
that was a lucky find...
that was a lucky find Alex, especially at a market. yours doesnt have the 2 tone dial, but thats only a minor difference. its also the only worldtimer that makes sense to me as there is 1 zone for each hour marker. a 12 hour WT just confuses me unless lik...
In all honesty, Graham...
It wasn't really for sale, I just happened to spot it in the wrist of a vendor and gave him a complement on it. He asked me if I would be interested in buying it, to which I said yes, settled on a price, and closed the deal. Some people just need extra mo...
Thanks, Phil!
I Just learned you are headed to the slopes. Enjoy the runs and have fun! So, are you taking the plunge with the TT 1931 and TT DSA? C'mon! You deserve them! Enjoy the weekend, Alex
The case is somewhat similar to the Omega Dynamic.
Is it a similar strap attachment? Regards, Richard.
interesting comparison Richard. the case...
interesting comparison Richard. the case is round whereas the Dynamic is oval and the bracelets attach to the case with a pin in an integrated fashion so if you broke the bracelet you'd be stuffed totally. luckily the pin is very strong and the bracelet i...
My Latest Acquisition: a Vogard
The Business Officer version. Chunky but comfortable to wear, and the worldtime mechanism is a doddle. My only quibble is the 24-hour indicator: it's too easy to misread the time. Picture is borrowed (no camera handy): Alex...
Yes all world timers count
New, Old, Big, Small if it shows time around the world it counts
Here we go !
I love these watches because you have the feeling to travel with your mind... And with a friend's watch: Fr.Xavier...
