Abstract (en)

The timepiece has a disk (1) on which a circular map of a world divided into time zones (f) is represented. A fixed pointer (2) is arranged, so as to indicate the time zone among the time zones. A time indicator (3) indicates a time corresponding to the time zone indicated by the pointer. A pushbutton (4) is connected to the disk such that pressure exerted on the disk causes the disk to turn at an angle corresponding to the time zone. The pushbutton is positioned, so as to exert pressure on a lever with nose. An independent claim is also included for a method for adjusting a timepiece.
