The world timer is one of the oldest complications in watchmaking, and it has become hugely popular again, now that globe- trotting is back on the agenda. The blue dial of the Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer is engraved to resemble a globe, surrounded by the 24 city names of the conventional world timer watch. Extras include a 24-hour scale, with day/ night differentiation to help track the second time zone, and a date ring at 6 o’clock. It comes with three different straps.
