About This Watch
The Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time displays all 37 time zones simultaneously via a sophisticated dial arrangement combining a Lambert azimuthal projection world map at the center, a city ring, and a 24-hour ring. Unlike most world time watches that display only 24 time zones, the caliber 2460 WT accounts for zones offset by 30 minutes, such as Tehran and New Delhi, making it one of the most comprehensive world time displays available. Pressing the pusher at 10 o'clock advances the city ring by one position, simultaneously adjusting the hour hand, making time zone changes effortless during travel. The hand-painted miniature world map at the dial center rotates once every 24 hours, with a day/night gradient indicating which portions of the globe are in daylight. The 42.5mm rose gold case provides ample space for the complex dial without feeling oversized. The movement is finished to Geneva Seal standards, with every bridge and wheel decorated by hand. For the international traveler who values both functionality and artistry, the Traditionnelle World Time is a masterpiece of practical haute horlogerie.
