A tribute to Patek Philippe World Time Chrono

Hey All,

Here’s the second in my Masters Tribute Series. The Sapphire World Time chrono is a tribute to the Patek Philippe Mens World Time Chronograph (http://bit.ly/2rHqXKP). I’ve taken some design liberties here. On the latest Patek 2017 model, all of the appointments are white gold. Here on the backlit digital platform the white/silver hands looked terrible and it was hard to tell time. There were older versions of this watch in blue that had darker, charcoal hands. So I made the hands on my face black. I also left the black hands in the DIM mode and added a soft under-light behind the hands. I’ve added my single complication with the multi-view functionality that I’ve been working on a lot lately. The one dial rotates the weather, weekday & date, temp, steps, and phone/watch battery levels every three seconds. The 24-hour ring also rotates throughout the day showing local 24-hour time. the DIM mode blacks out the center of the face, retains the day & date, and adds a quick-view digital time at the top. Hope you guys like it.

Thanks,
John

Very nice!!! and now to fill my character set, temp in London is 33C that’s 91.4F and feels like 1000F even with the AC on

LOL :smile: it’s been very hot here in NYC

Very cool! I like this watch! Masterly done with the fading informations in the midfield. I was thinking about exactly that animation method a couple of days ago.

Better Readability because of bigger fonts, more space on the watch face for design elements, compressed informations…

And it‘s a nice „Special Effect“.
