IS 2022 THE year when The Great Vacation makes its comeback? Reports show that revenue for air travel this year has rebounded to almost 84 per cent of pre-pandemic levels – an astounding return to normalcy, aided in no small measure by eager travellers finally set free to fly and soak in a change of scenery.

For the latter, an essential but overlooked accompaniment is a travel watch. Otherwise known as a two-time zone or multi-time zone watch, it is a timepiece that tells the time of your present location as well as that of another city (or multiple cities) across different time zones.
