The Quattro Orario
Discover the striking automatic four timezone watch concept. Imagined and made visually come to life in 2012 by the designer studio Horology Design Ltd.
Imagine a timepiece inspired by the world of Italian Racing with four automatic Swiss movements. The Quattro Orario is a very stylish and modern watch that can display four different time zones at once. This fashionable accessory would suit people who love sports, travel, and Italian supercar designs.
Four small dials are arranged in a 2×2 grid. They are black with white hands and are decorated with circular bright red rings. The Quattro has four individual dented crowns, one for each timezone, which are marked with the numbers 1 to 4 on a deep red edging.
The four-timezone watch has a masculine aggressive look that goes perfectly with the world of racing and motorsports, the Italian way. The black casing and wide domed crystal give a unique feel to the piece. In contrast, a vivid red leather bracelet with invisible stitchings and white edges will ensure you will not feel unnoticed.
Why four timezones?
This very elegant and sophisticated watch can display four different time zones simultaneously. A high-end product that would appeal to people who travel a lot or have business connections around the world. Are you traveling more than the usual businessman? Set each timezone as you see fit and stay in time in four different locations – Mind the number of the dial you have associated with each four countries.
Americans for example live in six different time zones, so this will definitely cover your movements from New York to Arizona and from Los Angeles to Hawaii.

The casings are individually raised and decorated with a white circular ring to add prominence. Next to each one of the different timezones you can read the inscriptions for each one in Italian – Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro.
The top of the secured screwed case back also includes the inscriptions “ELEGANZA SPORTIVA” as well as “Swiss Made” at the bottom
