Nice watch but my problem with this (as per the photo) is the bent gold nail worn as a bracelet, that must play havoc with the cabochon jewels in the crowns.

Re: Now this is how to do a dual time watch
^^^ I would never wear any other adornment on the same wrist as a watch, just to be on the safe side.
I wear a silver torc on my right wrist quite often, and occasionally an electronic Salto wristband if I go in to cover at work. Today I’m wearing a poppy wristband as well.
When I sprained my left wrist, the watch went on the right wrist, the torc went in the drawer and the Salto band went onto a lanyard around my neck!

Re: Now this is how to do a dual time watch
There’s a few similar style watches that would be thankfully a lot cheaper. I remember that I wanted to get one for my missus when she used to travel to the Middle East, USA, Japan and Australia a lot for work- as she likes vintage/classic style watches but knowing her, would struggle with a GMT hand.
I prefer this style for regular business travel I think- where time zones are significantly different and you’re constantly checking back and forth. I know we’ve all got used to the gmt hand or maybe a small sub dial but I like this a lot. I never travel for work and would have no need for it though!

Re: Now this is how to do a dual time watch
Can't agree that this is the way to do a travel watch at all. Two manual movements needing to be separately wound and set, not to mention drifting at different rates? No second hand? No date? No thanks!
All IMHO of course, each to his own.....

Re: Now this is how to do a dual time watch
My thoughts exactly! I’d take this as a travel watch over a GMT if I travelled regularly. And it’s so much more elegant.Fat-Sam wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 1:34 pm There’s a few similar style watches that would be thankfully a lot cheaper.

You nailed it on the head!!..Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 7:11 pm I should think it would be awkward if one movement were to gain rapidly, whilst the other were to lose rapidly. It would, however, certainly help with those time zones that had 30 minute or 15 minute offsets.

Re: Now this is how to do a dual time watch
I’m going to go in and defend my new favourite travel watch
I’d say that winding one is not much different to winding both and a date/ second hand would make the setting process longer and more complex. As for the drift rate- unless it was magnetised or in desperate need of a service it would be no more of an issue than any manual wind watch or vintage watch. Winding a watch each morning is as good a time as any to check the accuracy against a known accurate reference time
