| The distinguishing characteristic of Louis Cottier's
World Time mechanism is the combination of bezel with main city names and
the 24 hour ring. More particularly, due to the basic feature of a bezel,
it is likely to be more conspicuous than a dial, but there won’t be enough
space to put all of the necessary names of the main cities in the world
if it is too narrow. On the other hand if it the bezel it too wide it will
weigh the dial down. After making countless adjustments, Shellman has finally
created a well-balanced watch with a beautifully finished dial, 24 hour
ring and bezel. |
