People travelling East, for example from London to Hong Kong, should pull the crown out to position 2 and move the hour hand forwards (in this case by 8 hours). The table above can be used to calculate any time difference.

People travelling West, for example from London to New York, should pull the crown out to position 2 and move the hour hand backwards (in this case by 5 hours). The table above can be used to calculate any time difference.

In both cases, the “24-hour” hand allows travellers to read the time back home – London, in our example – at a glance, using the 24-hour scale on the dial. The second time zone – in this case Hong Kong or New York – is read off the dial in the usual way.

Each time the hour hand crosses midnight, the date jumps forwards or backwards, depending on whether the hour hand is moved forwards or backwards.
