It is also a reminder that the "invention" of world time (and the time zones) came rather late in horological history, soon becoming essential for the dependable operation of railroads and the telegraph, and that it was largely due to the efforts of one man - Sir Sandford Fleming - for it to become no longer a dream but a reality!
Apart from that, I admire every aspect of it, including the AS movement. It is also a dream to wear - which I am doing right now.

Here the information from the source. The movement is a AS 1895. A caliber developped in the 1970ties.
We redecorate and adapt this to today standard.
The WT module is the one developped by Andersen and only 0.90mm thick including dial.
Feel free to ask for more details.
