    Dual time watches are equipped with two hour hands to indicate two different time zones. The primary hour hand must be independently adjustable by hour increments, and the second-hour hand indicates 12 or 24 hours. They are more complicated than a GMT because they move on two subdials, however, both serve the same purpose.

    The difference between a dual time watch and a GMT watch is usually the scale. A dual time watch has a 12-hour scale, while a GMT watch has a 24-hour scale. Most dual time watches have a day/night indicator, and a hand that can be adjusted more easily than a GMT watch.

It was a name that was easy to say in any language and looked good on watch movements and dials. Wilsdorf just doesn’t roll off the tongue the same way that Rolex does!

    The moon is such a fantastical object: a big smile that pokes its head out during the night sky like a game of hide and seek. There have been songs written about it, stories both fictional and theoretical, and still, there’s so much to learn.

You can see the moon's current phase without going outside at night by looking through a small opening on the complication.
