For example, the Statue of Liberty hand shows the time in New York City (EDT), while the Big Ben hand shows the time in London.

The Landmark Clock is shipped pre-assembled with five major time zones, though comes with 8 interchangeable pieces to change as you wish. The landmark hands available are for Paris, New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Shanghai, Tokyo, London and Rio, with a generic hour hand packaged in for every other time zone.
