The introduction of the TX line this year helped Timex graduate from the purely functional to formalwear terrain. Adopting the tagline "TechnoLuxury," TX combined attentive Italian design with German engineering, somehow sidestepping that dreaded dollar-to-euro exchange rate and offering well-constructed watches at reasonable prices.

In keeping with this borderless movement, their latest bit of accessory alchemy is the TX World Time Limited Edition, developed exclusively for Men's Vogue and available at Nordstrom. With rose gold buttons, an embossed face under sapphire crystal, and an alligator leather band, one might be tempted to overlook the interior, but things are equally impressive inside that stainless steel case. The four-motor analog component is aided by computing power that keeps the time and season for each of the exotic locales that encircle the face, adjusting even for daylight savings. Limited to 100 individually numbered pieces, this trip around the world in 24 clicks was conceived for the business traveler who logs as much time in airports as most men do on couches.

Men's Vogue is auctioning the first five numbered TX watches on eBay. All proceeds from winning bids will benefit Ninemillion.org, a charity that provides education for children affected by violence and conflict.
