Those with an eye for architecture will really be able to dig the Time Traveler watch. Created by Mr. Jones Watches, the Time Traveler is a unique piece that tells time using landmark buildings from around the world. The 24-hour timepiece has a total of 16 different buildings on its face, including everything from the Eiffel Tower to Saudi Arabia's Abraj Al-Bait Towers.
The watch never needs to be set as one only needs to find the building in the region they're in to tell the time. The red dot on the face was dubbed the "homing pigeon" by Mr. Jones Watches and is used to find the minutes. Only 100 of the Time Traveler watches will be made and each one is priced at $210.
