These very complex watches allow you to track both hours and minutes in two different time zones, which is very useful for time zones that differ by 15 or 30 minutes. With two tourbillons complementing the two time displays and two barrels powering the movement (resulting in an impressive 90-hour power reserve), the Arnold & Son DTE is a serious piece of mechanical wizardry. Parmigiani Fleurier takes a different approach, displaying local time with traditional centered hands, and home time by a subdial at 12 o'clock, each with a day/night indicator. It also boasts a retrograde date function. Both timepieces are beautifully finished in a classic style. Arnold & Son has vertical Geneva stripes on the dial-side plate, lacquered dials and polished bridges, while Parmigiani Fleurier features the Toric collection's signature bezel with alternating knurling and gadroons. Each time zone is independently set by its own crown.

This contemporary Swiss brand continually revitalizes the art of watchmaking, reinventing its approach to the craft through recollection of its founder, John Arnold. Overcoming the challenges of his time, Arnold sought to innovate time itself, conceiving some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century and despite winning several awards, never halted his research into horology. The accuracy of his chronometers even reached regal regard, as they were utilized by His Majesty's Royal Navy, ensuring John Arnold as one of its principal suppliers.In the present day, precision continues to classify Arnold & Son. In particular, the Perpetual Moon 38 Eclipse timepiece boasts agility and animation as it is imbued with 90 hours of power reserve. Other collections such as its Ultrathin Tourbillion, Globetrotter and Eight-Day collections similarly imitate the infinity of time through unrestrained innovation.
