World Watches is a collection by Charlotte Van Der Waals that understands how time is completely dependent on where one is standing. The latest designs show times from around the world.
The collection consists of various watches (although called watches on her site they are more like clocks), which "around its perimeter, rigid intersections divide 12 smooth sides that are decorated with the names of two major cities," as stated on DesignBoom. The colors of the clocks vary, with one being a matte black and the other made out of a sleek aluminum material. Both look quite modern and would go with a number of different interior designs since they are neutral in color.
For those who have friends around the world, this clock could avoid making any 3AM phone calls.
