Be interested to see the final version of this if the price is right might consider it.

Do we measurements for it yet?

Living in Chicagoland for 20+ years the move for the World Timers to have Mexico instead of Chicago bugs me. Mexico is not 1 time-zone to start with (and yes, I know they are abbreviating Mexico City for space), but I imagine I'm not the only Chicagoan to feel slighted. It is the first thing I look for in these watches. As one who travels globally for work I would love to add one. I wear my C60 GMT often and this would be a nice addition. Sigh. Swimming against the tide.

Thanks Guy. I did notice that Australia hadn’t yet been discovered... ;)

Just for you, Gary...

The watch and idea are wonderful, but unfortunately the world's time zones are a mess. Some countries don’t have DST, some have 30 minute offsets and some are, frankly, in the wrong zone, e.g. western Spain.

Chicago - 2.7 Million
Mexico City - 8.8 Million

While I can understand your disappointment, along with everyone else who lives somewhere other than the 24 listed cities (myself included), I can see why Mexico City might be chosen over Chicago.

I hear what you're saying. It was the C8 UTC that really killed me. I wanted that one badly!! In the end, I'm probably best off with a GMT like I have now, but a C60 300 with a 12 hour bezel would be a perfect adventure watch for me. I'm hoping my incoming Halios Seaforth with the 12 hour is that watch.

This was my first thought too. It also appears, to me at least, that London, which I would assume should appear at 12 seeing as it's GMT, has being thrown off to one side so the whole map can be rotated to a position to best fit the 9 o' clock blemish?

I hope I'm mistaken.

Should be smaller I would say. The previous C9 JJ version is at 43mm and C1 happens to reduce the case size.

Isnt it JJ03 movement so it seems like it's GMT than proper worldtimer.

Oh, it's been discovered, alright, but prisoners have no use for a world timer.

But the guards will need to know when they can call back home...
