    World time zone clock

    Very simple - I'd like a World Time zone clock for the home office as I'm making more and more international calls - what have you got/recommend?

    That is pretty nifty (and scales properly on an ultrawide) but I like the idea of a physical clock as don't have one in the office...

    Bulova make a rather nice looking one, the Wyndmere World Time. I thought about this for a while but couldn’t find one in the UK so settled for something else.

    Cool

    Surely it's an excuse for one of these? Stick it on a watch stand

    Seiko have made some world time clocks that are readily available on ebay. Or you could go for a bunch of cheap clocks with signs of city names underneath for that traditional newsroom/war room look.

    Do you call India much? Or anywhere else with a half hour timezone?

    Personally I have a soft spot for the Geochron, as a place I used to work a long time ago had one. Very effective.

    I suspect you could. That "4k digital" Geochron is just a cheap stick that runs their software and plugs into an hdmi port. They sell it for £500 I think.

    That could actually be a good answer... might look into this...
