                    How It Works


                                          <Base>
     To make it easier to understand, let's take Japan and Hawii for example.When we refer to time
     difference between two areas, it is always ment by "hours." Therefore, here we think of HOUR
     HAND of a clock.

     Japan is 19 hours ahead of Hawaii, which means if you rotate the HOUR HAND of a Japanese
     clock by 19(=12+7) hours counterclockwise, then the clock will show the same time as a
   Hawaian clock does. In other words, if you rotate the Japanese Clock's DIAL instead by 19
   hours clockwise, then the clock will also show the same time as a Hawaian clock does. The
   very basic idea of WORLD TIME STICKER comes from this point.

     There will be very few clock or watch whose dial is rotatable. An idea is to realize this ROTATED
     DIAL by another way. A WORLD TIME STICKER, a simple clear sticker with clock dial printed on,
     can be this ROTATED DIAL by being applied onto the coverglass of a clock, as you can imagine.
     The sticker should be placed at a properly rotated position. Reading the HOUR HAND with this
     ROTATED STICKER DIAL gives you the local time. What you have to be cautious about is that
     minute reading for the local time should be read with the REAL CLOCK DIAL, since time
     differenceis always refered to HOUR difference. Minute reaading is the same around the world.

     The above idea applies to any one standard area with any local area. What matters is how many
     hours ahead or behind the standard area is with the local area. One more thing to be cautious
     about is SUMMER TIME. Time difference should be known carefully when and where summer
     time system is adopted.

                                   <(A.M./P.M.) judgement>
     With the WORLD TIME STICKER, you are able to know local time with a glance at the clock.
     However, it is not intuitively easy to tell either A.M. or P.M. of the local time.

     In order to get used to the way to tell (A.M./P.M.) of local time intuitively, we have to learn a
     rule;
     (1)When TIME DIFFERENCE ( from standard area to local area) is more than 12hours ahead or
         less than 12 hours behind, then while the standard time is inbetween from
mark (sticker
     dial's 12) o'clock to 12 o'clock, (A.M./P.M.) of both standarad and local time coincides,
         otherwise, it is contrary.
     (2)When TIME DEFFERENCE is less than 12 hours ahead or more than 12 hours behind, then
         while standard time is inbetween from 12 o'clock to
mark c'lock, (A.M./P.M.) of both
         standard and local time coincides, otherwise, it is contrary.

     The above rule my not be easy to remember at first, but once you learned it, it would be easy
     to tell (A.M./P.M.) of the local time.
