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.

🗺️ Why This Map Stands Out

• Hexagon-Based Landmasses: A contemporary geometric design that gives the world a clean, modern aesthetic.

• Comprehensive Time Zone Layout: Displays the full span of global time zones in one easy-to-read visual.

• Centred on 165° West Longitude: Offers a unique Pacific-focused view of the world.

• Equal-Area Projection: Maintains true relative sizes of landmasses for accurate geographic reference.
