It is truly, truly great to have Arnold & Son back in North America and better than ever! One of my favorites is the Hornet World Timer. More than just time, date and second timezone. This is a TIME MACHINE in the truest sense!
Here are the details straight from Arnold and Son -
FUNCTIONS
hours, minutes, equation of time, multiple time zone display, mean solar time, big date display at 5 o'clock, month indicator
Time zone push piece at 2 o'clock. Second time zone or mean solar time adjustment crown at 10 o'clock. World Timer outer ring rotating adjustment at 9 o'clock. Six central hands. 1) Hour triangle red-tipped hands 2) Long minute hand 3) Short hand indicating the months moving over a graduated scale inside the circle of hour-markers 4) Second time zone shown by a long triangle-tipped hand with white Superluminova completing a full turn of the dial in 24 hours 5) Third time zone shown by long sun-tipped hand with red Superluminova, can be set to show time zones in half-and quarter-hours, a useful aid in parts of the world like India and the Pacific. It also slides, permitting it to be set to display the mean solar time of any location according to its longitude. 6) Small hand indicating the equation of time: effectively, the difference between apparent solar and mean solar time, on a display segment positioned under the axis of the hands.
