World Time Clock

A lot of people would assume that in order to have a clock that covers all 24 time zones, you'd need a complicated microprocessor to handle the various configurations. Not so with the World Time Clock. Designed by Charlotte Van Der Waals, a Dutch designer whose patented design is a unique addition to travelers worldwide.

Details

The clock is simple; each time zone is represented by a city such as New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam, etc. In order to check the time of a particular city, simply rotate the clock so that the city is the top-most side. That's it, no fancy winding or voice-activation. The clock has 12 sides and each side has 2 cities, completing the world's 24 hour time zone differences.

Measure 2 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches long.

I love when things that seem complicated are solved with a simple solution. Actually, at first I had to really think about how this thing worked, but now that I know I think it's genius.

It's a pretty cool idea, except I wonder how many people (and how often) people need world time. And when they do, don't online tools accomplish this task?

seems like one of those father's day gifts you give your dad that he doesn't need, but visually, it looks cool

Exactly. Fathers are always getting stuff they don't need.

This could be useful for a traveling business man making it easy to adjust to new time zones (at least numerically). I don't know how portable it is tho. It would be nice to see a similar designed watch with a turning face, which I feel would be far more useful.

This doesn't work very well with daylight savings.
