The ultimate travel companion

Farer World Timers are intricately designed to show you an uninterrupted view of 24 key cities across the globe in a single glance. A clever mechanism, based on Sir Sandford Fleming’s revolutionary system of worldwide time zones - first proposed in 1879. The Scottish-born Canadian inventor recommended that the world be divided into time zones, each spaced 15 degrees of longitude apart.

HOW TO SET THE
FARER WORLD TIMER

1. Set local time

For example, it’s 10:10AM in London.

Gently pull out the main crown two positions. Turn the crown until the correct time is displayed. Push the crown back in.

2. Set second time zone

For example, it’s New York.

Gently turn the second offset crown until the desired city on the outer bezel is positioned directly beneath the 6.

3. Set 24 hour time

For example, New York is 5 hours behind London so the 24 hour time is set to 5AM.

Gently pull out the main crown out one position. Turn the crown clockwise to advance the inner disk until the correct 24 hour time is positioned above the 6 and the second time zone. Push the crown back in.

4. Read world time

This simultaneously sets the correct time for all 24 world time zones by aligning the inner disk 24 hour time with the outer bezel 24 global cities.

DIAL

FIRST CLASS

Each dial in the collection is based around a single Farer World Timer design concept. The original vision for the design was to deliver ultimate clarity while showing off intricate levels of craftsmanship. From micro piqué patterns to applied solid blocks of Super-LumiNova - real attention to detail had gone into the execution of each dial. And with over 40 steps in the manufacturing process to create one of these dials (in comparison an industry standard would be more like 14), these watches aim to please even the sharpest horolicial eye.

CASE

DETAILED FINISHING

The Farer World Timers are held in a 39mm diameter case with a slim depth of just a 11mm, while drop lugs keep the case snug to the wrist for a comfortable every day fit. Made from 316L stainless steel and treated in multiple finishes, with an outer brushed bezel and highly polished case edges that outline micro-blasted case side cut-ins and follow around to the dropped lugs. Our flush fitting top domed sapphire crystal has been anti-reflective treated internally for full clarity of the bi-directional World Timer bezel underneath.

MOVEMENT

RARE ETA

The reverse of the Farer World Timers have a highly polished stainless steel four-screw case back with flat sapphire exhibition glass, through which the decorated Swiss-made movement instantly stands out. Our love of bold colour continues right down to the movement on this watch with our bespoke matte red line-cut designed rotor. Driven by the increasingly rare ETA 2893-1 Elaboré movement with universal hour indicator disc, date and once fully wound approximately 48 hours of power reserve.

REVIEWS

Given that this price point makes the new Chrono-Contempo more affordable than comparable options from brands such as Hamilton and Tissot, this latest release from Farer ultimately presents a rather compelling option within the landscape of mechanical chronographs, and it pairs a proven Swiss-made movement with the brand’s signature colorful design language.

By now we’re used to Farer’s unique flavour of design. That’s to say, taking a classic archetype of a watch and playing around with colour and details to give it more than a fresh coat of paint. Usually though, that’s been tackling things like GMTs, Super Compressors, racing chronographs, a run of watches the word ‘accessible’ feels at home next to. But now the British brand is doing something I never would have expected from them: the Farer Tonneau Collection.

I’m always conscious of sounding like a broken record when I talk about Farer because without fail, I mention how they are the masters of bold colours. I could realistically point to any of their new watches from across the last two years and they’d be fun, fresh and colourful.

There is no question, if you wanted to use the Farer as the archetypal definition of a British watch, it would be an excellent choice. Its inspiration is deep and meaningful, and the character Farer has tried to inject into the design works very well. This does feel like a vintage traveller watch.

At its price point, just under a thousand, the Aquamatic has some stiff competition... With all that said, Farer blows the competition out of the water. The Aquamatic’s closest competitor in terms of quality and attention to detail probably lies several hundred dollars north. The quality and number of fine details on the Aquamatic are astonishing, given the price.
