Really cool idea. The Statue of Liberty glyph for NYC is extremely difficult to make out (on mobile, at any rate). I would much prefer NYC. Also not sure why NYC has to be special, I would have thought UTC would the special one.

Slick design. Love that it doesn't try to do a million things. I think this would be really nice as a smartwatch face or an iPhone widget.
Two ideas to consider adding to this cool concept: 1. Could there be an option to place 00:00 at the top instead of the bottom? It looks like both positions have been used for analog 24 hour clocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial 2. Could there be an option to set the background to be a polar-projected world map ( e.g. United Nations emblem) that rotates to align with the turning of the hour hands?…
> 1. Could there be an option to place 00:00 at the top instead of the bottom? I wear a 24 hour analogue dial wrist watch, with 24 on top. I'll admit, I sometimes wish I had chosen 12 on top, since it's more naturally to look at the watch during the day, and less so during the night. Since it more naturally follows - on quick visual inspection - what it would look like on a normal 12 hour analogue dial.
If anyone wants to wear a 24-hour dial on their wrist: * https://romeoswatches.com/the-5-best-24-hours-watches-buying... * https://svalbard.watch/pages/Svalbard_24-hour_watches.html * https://vintagewatchinc.com/24-hour-watch/ * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial#Watches
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sounds cool, would you care to link the make/model?
Mine is specifically from the Military Time Collection, called Military Dress, I believe.[1] Unfortunately, the specific model appeared to be sold out right now.

Hope you are well my friend. I smiled at this project and then saw it was made by you — it’s such a beautiful project that only you could have made :).
Great idea and execution.
