Earth World Time

The dial is the Earth itself, seen from straight above the North Pole and turning once a day under the real sun. The day side is a satellite photograph of the planet; the night side is dark, with the cities' lights glowing gold; between them the soft line of dusk and dawn moves with the seasons.

How it reads

• The sun is always at the top. The globe turns so that the place where it is noon right now sits under the 12 of the 24-hour ring.
• Fourteen gold dots mark cities around the world, from Honolulu and Los Angeles to London, Dubai, Delhi and Tokyo. Read the time of day anywhere on the fixed 24-hour ring: the hour beside a city is its solar time, close to its clock time.
• The seasons are real: in June the Arctic stays in daylight all day, in December it lies in the polar night.

Also on the dial

• Hour, minute and a red seconds hand.
• The date in a window at 3. Tap the date to open your calendar.
• The moon's real phase in a small disc at 6.

Tap the dial

The city lights on the night side brighten once and fade. They do the same as each new hour comes in. Nothing animates at rest; the globe turns a little every minute.

Make it yours

• Hands: silver, gold or black.
• 24-hour ring: numerals or bars.
• Seconds hand: on or off.

Always-on

The screen goes dark; the city lights stay as a dim gold glow on the turning globe, with its outline, the 24-hour ring, the hands and the date.
