UN Airport Clocks
I always find brand-sponsored clocks in public spaces fascinating.
On a recent trip to Bangalore (Bengaluru), I passed through the new international airport, opened only three years ago. I found a number of Ulysse Nardin clocks, all having the marine chronometer design.

This first one has a nice spread of world times. Something's a bit off here though. New York and London only 90 minutes apart? And Bangalore should be on the half-hour.....
This one looks better. NYC, LON and BLR all correct. Never been to Dubai or Hong Kong, so I'll just assume they're spot on. Hold on though. A closer look at the power reserve and the subseconds dials reveals they are painted on and not operational. Disappointing.
OK, last one. Just local time here, still a fake power reserve, but at least the seconds hand sweeps. Very smoothly too. Must be very high beat...
