The Metropolitan 24 Cities demonstrates that complication can look so simple. The dual-time tonneau-shaped wristwatch displays two times, with a double window indicating both the reference and travel cities. Upon its release in 2006, the Metropolitan 24 cities was the only dual-time offering to take Daylight Savings Time into account. The crown-integrated pusher allows for a snappy view of the various time-zones across the globe. The intricate luminescent dial blends a vertically textured main surface with a silvered disc for the hour and minute tracks. The simple layout furthermore displays an AM/PM window. The Girard Perregaux-based movement further-enhances the horological qualities of this rare timepiece, making it a solid ambassador for Daniel Roth lineage.
