Chopard Four Time Zone

Here's the bottom line: your little GMT isn’t going to cut it anymore. Two time zones? That’s cute. Chopard decided to give the metaphorical middle finger to minimalist timekeeping and gift the world something truly deranged (in the best way): four independently set mechanical time zones, neatly packed into a single wrist-worn gold rectangle. This is the 1980s Chopard Four Time Zone—and it’s exactly the kind of madness we didn’t know we needed.

Forget flipping through Slack threads to decode when your cross-functional team might be online. You don’t need a “Find Time” plugin—you need a watch that shows Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific at once. Call it a boardroom weapon. Call it managerial drip. Either way, this thing was made for the American executive who juggled more zones than a Boeing 747.

Each dial is powered by its own mechanical movement. That’s right—four separate calibers crammed inside a surprisingly sleek, 18k yellow gold case. It’s a feat of engineering. Also, your watchmaker’s worst nightmare. Imagine being told you need to service this thing. Imagine being told you own this thing. Exactly.

The case isn’t just big, it’s broad—44mm across and 36mm tall—but here’s the twist: thanks to a gentle curvature that hugs your wrist (and mimics the curve of the actual globe, poetically enough), it wears way smaller than the dimensions suggest. It’s ergonomic, in that “oh wow, I didn’t expect this to be comfortable” kind of way.

The condition? Genuinely fantastic. The front face has that signature 1980s polished opulence, while the back is subtly brushed down the center, flanked by polished edges. You’ll catch light in motion but not in a way that screams for attention. Just enough to say, “I know what I’m doing.”

Original LUC-signed crowns, original Chopard alligator strap with the gold script still crisp, and the OG Chopard gold-plated buckle round things out. The crystal is curved sapphire, naturally—because plastic would be a felony on something this architected.

There’s no flourish here that’s unnecessary. Each decision feels intentional, indulgent, but not performative. If you're the kind of person who has four calendars open at once, and maybe a private jet on the tarmac—or at the very least, four Google accounts—you’re the kind of person who deserves this. Or maybe you're just the kind of person who appreciates a deeply odd, deeply niche slice of Swiss horological history.

Either way, this isn’t just a conversation starter. It’s the whole damn TED Talk.
