BULGARI OCTO ROMAWORLDTIMER Swiss watch brand Bulgari makes owning a world timer a real possibility thanks to the Octo Roma Worldtimer crafted in stainless steel. Powered by a new 261-part integrated movement developed in-house, the watch is ultra-thin and comfortable on the wrist. The hours, minutes and seconds are in the center, with two chapter rings surrounding it: one each for the 24-hour display and the world’s main cities. The brand’s watchmakers used a few cities representative of their time zones that are atypical, including Rome (spelled Roma for the name of the watch) instead of Paris. The watch features a transparent sapphire case back for viewing the movement. $8,550, bulgari.com

IWC TOP GUN PILOT’S WATCH TIMEZONER Brand new to the IWC Schaffhausen lineup, this Top Gun Pilot’s Watch Timezoner is crafted in the brand’s proprietary, high-tech Ceratanium (a mix of titanium and ceramic for lightness and scratch resistance) with a city bezel ring made of ceramic. The world time is adjusted simply by pushing down on the bezel. This marks the first time a Top Gun Pilot’s watch boasts this complication. It is powered by an in-house-made IWC movement with Pellaton winding system. Just 150 pieces will be made per year. $16,000, iwc.co
