Nocs Atelier Seconds Watch design Daniel Alm

“I’ve always been interested in GMT watches, overall, but never found any subtle ones,” Nocs founder and Chief Design Officer Daniel Alm shares with CH. “Also, the team and I really wanted to explore more products within the world of traveling,” he notes. Anyone familiar with GMTs understands their value. The rest of the allure comes from Nocs’ materials and processes. “It’s been a 2,000-hour journey from start to finish of the GMT project,” Alm adds. “The movement from Ronda was customized for us and we are really happy how the interplay between the different treatments of the face and hands came together to show the other time zone in a subtle way.”

The Seconds GMT watch displays local time along with an alternate time zone on one simple dial.

The wearer can distinguish either time by looking at the relevant hour hand. On the silver Seconds watch, the polished hour hand is set to local time, while the brushed steel hand indicates time in another location.

This hand moves at a slower pace to create a 24-hour rather than a 12-hour clock, hitting each marker at two-hour intervals. This helps the wearer know whether it is day or night in the second location.

A polished minute and second hand function as normal.
