Surely, a jetsetter like you cannot make do with just any ordinary watch. Â Turning the crown of your timepiece after arriving at your next destination and doing mental calculations while you’re at it just doesn’t seem to be the thing such a sophisticated traveler will bother with. Â If anything, I will take a gander you’re rocking a watch like the Vogard Chronozoner, which fits a patented timezone adjustment system right on its bezel.
Using the same timezone adjustment facility as with Vogard’s other models, the Chronozoner is easily set to the exact hours on a new city by simply rotating the engraved bezel. Â Arrange it so that the city you are in is right at the 12 o’clock line and you’re all set – the watch adjusts the hands all on its own. Â That sure beats having to fit in multiple dials on the watch face or – gasp – opting for a digital auto-adjusting timepiece.
You can even order customized varieties, with cities listed on the bezel personalized according to which places you frequently travel in. Â Make sure to add in Paris, Rome and all the other glamorous cities even if you never visit them – it makes your traveling profile look way cooler.
The Chronozoner, of course, is more than just a world-worn watch. Â Designed to rival the best sports timepieces in the world, it boasts a superb-quality chronograph mechanism and a durable titanium frame that can withstand competitive play, all while sporting a very edgy dashboard-style appearance. Â It uses large automobile-inspired crowns and buttons to make accessing the controls easier, even when you’re wearing gloves (an accessory sporty jetsetters like you should definitely consider – especially if you use public bathrooms).
Vogard founder Mike Vogt likes to refer to the Chronozoner as a smart luxury watch, evoking emotions while remaining incredibly useful for everyday use. Â I have to agree. Â Prices start at 9,800 Euros.
