Louis Cottier introduced world time watches in the 1930s, which displayed the time in all 24 time zones simultaneously. Cottier worked with various brands, including Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, and Patek Philippe, with the reference 2523 being the first world time watch with two crowns. In 2000, Patek Philippe reintroduced the world time complication with the reference 5110, featuring a pusher instead of a second crown. The watch lists 24 cities, with the hour and minutes hands displaying the time in the city at the 12 o'clock position and the other cities lining up with a second 24-hour ring that rotates counter clockwise. The pusher at 10 o'clock allows for easy adjustment of the time zone.
