	This watch does that, it has dual times of day and a mode where a 
secondary window displays the second time zone with the hands and the
primary display on the other.

	Interestingly the two times it keeps can be off in the minutes and
hours, but not in the seconds.   Are those world cities where for religious
purposes mean solar time is observed only on even minute boundaries ?
