bigred25929I would suggest, the engraving to be Sandford Fleming. That would make sense as he proposed a WW clock of 24 hours (avoid a.m. / p.m. issue) .
Ironically the GMT of that watch is not on 24 hours but 12h, so kind of am/pm with its opening showing night/day.
For those complaining about this watch to be European centric, may I remind this limited edition is about the Greenwich Meridian, that is not located elsewhere than in UK (still in Europe despite the brexit). Hence the globe somehow centred on this meridian.
For those Northern American, that wanted to see it great again, you can read that watch in this way:
- the large main hands indicate your local time in the US (and you don’t need a map to know where you are)
- GMT i.e. the small one, can be adjusted to a European country (so you can see what time it is in this small old territory… ;-)
