Twice a year, all conventional mechanical world timers are wrong.
Why? Because daylight saving time is not synchronised worldwide. Europe and North America change their clocks on different dates, while many countries do not observe daylight saving time at all.
For decades, this discrepancy has remained an unresolved challenge in traditional mechanical world timers, resulting in incorrect time indications during certain periods of the year.
With the GPHG award-winning Récital 28 Prowess 1 and Récital 30, BOVET has developed an unprecedented mechanical solution to this longstanding horological challenge.
Discover how to set the Récital 30, the Superlative World Timer, in four simple steps:
1. Give energy to your timepiece – Ensure the movement has sufficient power.
2. Adjust the local time – Set the hours and minutes to your current local time.
3. Select the correct time period – Use the pusher at 2 o’clock to choose between UTC, AST, EAS or EWT according to the time of year.
4. Synchronise the world time discs – Use the pusher at 4 o’clock to rotate the discs into the correct position.
One remarkable mechanism. Four seasonal configurations. A world of precision.
