But nearly a hundred years earlier, to meet the demands prompted by the establishment of railway time in the 1860s, watchmakers such as Hamilton and Elgin developed railroad pocket chronometers that included a third hand to indicate an additional timezone. This set the framework of what was to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1930s and 1940s, \u003cem\u003emanufactures\u003c\/em\u003e such as Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/pages\/vintage-and-pre-owned-patek-philippe-watches\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e produced “world time” pocket watches: Using a special dial layout designed by Louis Cottier, these showed the time across the globe’s different time zones simultaneously. In the 1950s, the advent (and immediacy) of jet travel — and the frequency at which transatlantic and transcontinental flights occurred — made it necessary for travelers to have a wristwatch that could display multiple time zones at once. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Patek Philippe Reference 7130R-012 New York Limited Edition is a modern reimagining of just such a watch. Rendered here in 18K rose gold, it features a 36mm case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a stunning\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ediamond-set bezel, and a sapphire exhibition caseback framing the \u003cem\u003emaison’s\u003c\/em\u003e self-winding \u003cem\u003eCalibre \u003c\/em\u003e240 HU micro-rotor movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial features an outer city disc with blue printing; a \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ebi-color hour ring with silver denoting daytime and a contrasting dark blue tone signifying night; applied rose gold 'dart' indices; \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ea classic Patek Philippe World Time handset; and a stunning inner blue dial displaying a rendering of the New York City skyline.
