Alfajr launches first Swiss watch with prayer times

Alfajr Watch & Clock Company claims to have launched the first Swiss watch that shows Muslim prayer times and Qibla direction for all cities and locations worldwide. According to the manufacturer, user of the watch only needs to select a city (from the cities list), then the watch automatically sets time and date, and shows the correct prayer times in that city. A special program in the watch automatically modifies the information to show the correct prayer times every day, and throughout the years. The company, with headquarters in Saudi Arabia, said this watch required many years of development as it displays dual time (analogue - digital) and both can be set from the watch crown. Watch components are made of high quality materials in a top of the line factory in Switzerland. The watch allows setting the lunar calendar as primary calendar. For precise indication of prayer times, the watch automatically refers to the local prayer times calendar "Taqweem" for a particular country, for example Umm Al Qura taqweem for Saudi Arabia and Egyptian taqweem for Egypt and so on. Different taqweems have slight difference in calculating some prayers especially Fajr and Isha prayers. From arabnews
