Borrowed Time: Glashütte Original Senator Cosmopolite in Stainless Steel

Normally, worldtimers only include the option to display the time in the 24 time zones offset by one hour; the Senator Cosmopolite, on the other hand, has the ability to display the time in all 35 time zones, including those offset by half an hour or three-fourths of an hour Although it must be said that the concept isn't entirely original - watches from other prestigious marques such as Vacheron Constantin, with the Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time in 2015, have achieved similar results in representing all the time zones What makes the Senator Cosmopolite entirely unique is its display of the separate time zones and how the watch accounts for timing quirks like Daylight Saving Time.

Home time is read from the subdial at 12 o'clock; the second time zone, aka your "Destination" or "Local" time, is told via the two central hour and minutes hands The IATA codes use three different colors to describe the GMT offset time: the 24 time zones with a full hour difference are printed in black, the eight time zones with a half-hour difference in blue and the three additional time zones in red Everything should now be set but there's still the question of the Daylight Saving Time apertures and how they help the Senator Cosmopolite stand out compared the stagnant worldtimers of the past.

The time difference between New York, which observes DST, and Hong Kong, which doesn't, is 12 hours during New York's Daylight Saving Time and 13 hours when the city is in Standard Time. . Source
