    While I've noticed some airports have a wall of clocks showing times in different cities which are often linked to a brand (eg. "Time by XYZ"), I've never really paid much attention to the brands of the clocks at the departure gates.

    Until today, when I was at the Siem Reap airport departure gate. I looked up, and unexpectedly there was an Omega Constellation clock, complete with claws...

    Nice one. I found many in Arab Saudi (the older double claw model) and of course in Switzerland

    In Dubai / DXB every clock is a Rolex / fluted bezel Datejust style thing, was surprised by how limited the Omega selection was, Rolex boutiques were on every causeway.

    In Dubai a few times this year and Omega and Zenith never had a soul in there and Rolex and PP were packed all day every day.

    Had the best customer service in the Zenith store but price's were a few grand above normal.

    The funny thing was on causeway A of terminal 3 I took a photo of the biggest of the Rolex stands near the center of the shopping mall, then on my way back via causeway B I'm at a similar one, pull out my phone and notice its not similar its identical, right down to the exact models and how they were displayed. Its like they want them to be mirror images.

    At Côte d'Azur airport there is an OMEGA clock as you enter baggage claim when arriving and at Charles de Gaulle in Paris there are Rolex clocks. In many lounges at airports I have seen Breitling too.

    Look out for the AP RO clocks in the Changi Airport when you come to Singapore in Feb.

    Brietling clocks (black with white accents) are standard in Air Canada lounges in airports across Canada..they usually have 4 time zones, matched to major cities.

    Any clue how much the small ones are worth and where I could buy one?
