Konstantin Chaykin's Traveller Becomes a World Time Desk Clock
Konstantin Chaykin has expanded his popular Traveller collection with an unusual new release. Rather than the familiar wristwatch format featuring ten Russian time zones, the collection now includes a desk clock equipped with a world time display.

A Large Dial Featuring a World Map
The desk clock is housed in an 18cm case made from nickel-plated brass.
At the centre of the dial is a stylised map of the world presented as two hemispheres. Major cities have been selected as reference points for the world time display.
Lines extending from the lower section of the dial connect the corresponding locations on the map to the surrounding 24-hour scale.
World Time Display and Manual Adjustment
The hands can be adjusted by opening the rear cover and using a dedicated adjustment wheel.
A separate slot on the back of the clock is provided for manually setting the world time disc.
German Quartz Movement by Hermle
Powering the desk clock is a quartz movement manufactured by the German company Hermle.
Limited Edition of 50 Pieces
Production of the Traveller desk clock is limited to 50 individually numbered examples.
The model is priced at 95,000 Russian roubles.
