Ultra-high-end Swiss watchmaker Bovet has created the R\u00e9cital 28 Prowess 1<\/a> watch, and it can indeed adjust to DST changes. How? A revolutionary roller system can be set at the touch of a button to show UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), AST (American Summer Time), EAS (Europe and American Summer Time), or EWT (European Winter Time) in any of the 24 time zones represented on the dial by 24 rollers.<\/p>\n

It’s a system that is simple to read but bewilderingly complex in construction, which might explain why Bovet estimates that it can manufacture only eight pieces per year. Indeed, the CHF 650,000 watch (approximately $711,400), complete with perpetual calendar and flying tourbillon, has been in development since 2019, with Bovet scrapping the first completed version then starting all over again in order to nail the unique DST function.<\/p>\n
