Abstract (en)

A device is provided for indicating the time of all areas in the world by a simple operation. "TOKYO" on an area ring (34) for which the time is displayed by a main timepiece (10) is set to a sub-timepiece (20). Sub-timepieces (22 to 30) display the times which are sequentially ahead of the time of the area of the sub-timepiece (20) by four hours, respectively. Accordingly, the times of a plurality of areas can be read on the spot by looking up the sub-timepieces (22 to 30) and the area ring (34). The sub-timepieces (24), (26), (28) and (30) represent the time at Denver, Rio de Janeiro, Paris or Rome and Karachi, respectively. Since the display of these sub-timepieces is made in the interlocking arrangement with the display of the main timepiece (10), any particular operation is not necessary whenever the time is read. <IMAGE>
