The [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept) Time Machine from Gresso can tell the time in six different major cities around the world while also letting you chat with FaceTime and play Angry Birds.

The iPhone 4 Time Machine has [six different Swiss Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-sport-neomatik-worldtimer) installed into its back plate that keep the time of Tokyo, Moscow, London, New York, Hong Kong and Paris. With all these watches installed, you might think that the iPhone 4 would put on a few centimeters. Not so, says Gresso, who claims that their addition of six watches increases the phone's width by only one millimeter thicker than a normal iPhone 4. If you really need to tell time in six different cities at once, the iPhone 4 Time Machine can be yours for a cool $6,000.
