A Strikingly Unique World Time Zones Map – Hexagon Design, Centred on 15° East
Discover a completely fresh way to view global time with the World Time Zones Hexagons Wall Map. This visually captivating design combines accurate time zone information with a tessellated hexagon representation of landmasses, creating a bold and contemporary take on world cartography.
Using the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection centred on 15° East longitude, the map ensures landmasses retain their true relative size while maintaining accurate directional relationships from its central point. Originally published in 2016, this edition delivers both practical timekeeping detail and modern geometric styling, making it ideal for educational, professional, and decorative use.
