Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0237194A1] The present invention relates to a universal timepiece including a circular base plate in which 24 division indexes are displayed with the same angle, an hour hand, and a region plate where names of regions in the world or symbols of the names and a date boundary line are displayed in a circumference of the timepiece. The base plate is divided into upper and lower half parts by a color or line. A noon symbol is displayed on a top of the upper half part, and an afternoon symbol and the International Date Line are displayed on the base of the lower half part. The region plate is formed at inside or outside of the base plate with a concentric circle. The universal timepiece enables a user to directly grasp the present time of chief cities and regions, an altitude of the sun, and change or no of the date.
