A Strikingly Unique World Time Zones Map – Hexagon Design, Centred on 165° West
View the world’s time zones from a bold new angle with the World Time Zones Hexagons Wall Map. This modern design merges practical global timekeeping with a tessellated hexagon depiction of landmasses, creating a visually compelling alternative to traditional map styles.
Using the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection centred on 165° West longitude, this map preserves accurate landmass proportions while maintaining true directional relationships from its central point. Originally published in 2016, it’s both a functional reference and a distinctive work of wall art.
