@GX - I quite agree. Nomos has a cleaner dial than the FC, which looks busy. Also a common criticism of the FC one is that the date dial obstructs the cities and hours at the bottom of the dial.

@Ayu - thanks for the link! That's in USD, for a new piece?

@Both, what about things like movement etc? I ask because I've come into an opportunity to buy a used (or second hand, or pre-loved) one a price similar to the one that Ayu posted. .This one is still under warranty, and apparently has been hardly used since being bought from a local AD - and Ayu is right, list was >50% over the price in the link.

VERY tempted.

I prefer the Nomos to the FC as it is more elegantly executed.

That being said... do I need a world timer in my collection?!

Hey guys, wanted to hear you thoughts please. Complete amateur here. So after seeing the Nomos worldtimer here a few moons ago, I've been quite smitten, and have been looking out a bit more for similar types (in somewhat similar price brackets), and I found out that Frederique Constant has got a world timer too. Question is, how would these two compare, if at all? Are there like models I should be reading about?

Note that I'm not actually going to be using the world timer function..

May want to note that NOMOS is a GMT that looks like a worldtimer, FC is a true worldtimer

Design-wise though, I'm a sucker for just about anything NOMOS does. Including this watch. BUT FC has more of that traditional worldtimer look, a la Patek 5130

Hi bro, i don't own the FC Worldtimer but i personally prefer the Nomos Zurich Worldtimer for its clean elegant execution. The dial is so simple yet sophisticated. To be honest, i personally would not consider the traditional worldtimers as i find the dials too clustered for my liking.

That being said, it is important to note that the nomos worldtimer is really more of a GMT than a worldtimer. But since you wont really be using the world timer function... i think you should go for the watch that speaks to you...

Another watch you can consider is the Montblanc Worldtimer. This watch to me is executed more nicely than the FC.

New month new watch.
Before you all ask me. This is the final prototype of the watch.
Had to ask Elshan for it and I promise a simple review of the watch from a consumer standpoint here and in WUS.
So I will be wearing it for a week and this is day 1.
Blue and brown variant isn't ready yet.
I have seen the blue original dial. Its a very dark blue shade.
