ABSTRACT:
A timepiece which simultaneously displays the time in several different time zones is disclosed. The timepiece may have a single clock unit, with several separate time displays being controlled by the single clock unit, in which case, the different times displayed in the different time zones result from a central display offset means. Or, the timepiece may have multiple clock units, the multiple units each having their own display, and being coordinated or set to display the time in the different time zones. In this case, the coordination or setting of the multiple clock units may be done by hand or automatically. Associated with each time display is a label to indicate the time zone or a location within the time zone for that display. Preferably, the labels are changeable so that the time zone or location indicated may be changed.
