Is a Grid-Layout Time Zone Clock Right for You? The Case for the BRG Style 6612
By BRG Precision Products | September 19, 2026 | Time Zone Clocks • Buyer’s Guide
When most people picture a time zone clock, they picture a single horizontal row: London on the left, New York in the middle, Tokyo on the right. That layout works well for 2 to 5 zones. But what happens when you need 8, 10, 12, or 15 zones? A horizontal row of 12 zones is nearly 80 inches wide. A row of 15 zones in 1.8″ LEDs spans over 65 inches. Wall space runs out long before zone count requirements do.
The BRG Style 6612 solves this by arranging zones in a grid of rows and columns. The same 12 zones that would need 78″ wide in a single horizontal row fit in 52.25″ wide and 21.25″ tall in a 3×4 grid — saving more than 25 inches of horizontal wall space while keeping all 12 zones simultaneously visible. No page flipping required. All 12 on the wall at once.
Five Reasons to Choose the Style 6612 Over a Horizontal Display
1. Your zone count exceeds your available wall width.
If you need 9 or more zones and don’t have 60+ inches of unbroken horizontal wall, the 6612’s grid layout makes the zone count fit. A 9-zone 6612D is 39.25″ wide × 21.25″ tall. A 9-zone horizontal display would span over 60″ wide.
2. You want to organize zones by region or category.
A grid layout naturally organizes zones spatially. Top row: Americas. Middle row: Europe & Middle East. Bottom row: Asia Pacific. Viewers find their region instantly without scanning a long left-to-right row. This organizational advantage is impossible in a single-row display.
3. You have more vertical wall space than horizontal.
Some walls — end walls, walls between windows, narrow segments — are taller than they are wide. The 6612’s grid configurations can take advantage of vertical height to display more zones in less width.
4. You need all zones visible simultaneously without page flipping.
A 6-zone horizontal clock with page flipping can show 24 zones total, but only 6 at a time. A 6612A shows all 6 zones simultaneously in a 2×3 grid. For operations where every zone must be visible at all times to everyone in the room, a grid that fits all zones without page flipping is the right answer.
5. You want a professional, organized appearance.
A well-configured 6612 grid display looks purposeful and structured in a way that a very long single-row display sometimes does not. Zones in logical rows and columns communicate operational organization as much as they display time.
Style 6612 vs. Style 6610 — Same Zones, Different Layout
| Zone Count | Style 6610 (Horizontal) | Style 6612 (Grid) | Width Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 zones | 6610E: 78.25″ wide, 7.25″ tall | 6612A (2×3): 39.25″ wide, 14.25″ tall | 39″ |
| 9 zones | No single-piece horizontal option | 6612D (3×3): 39.25″ wide, 21.25″ tall | — |
| 12 zones | No single-piece horizontal option | 6612E (3×4): 52.25″ wide, 21.25″ tall | — |
| 15 zones | No single-piece horizontal option | 6612F (3×5): 65.25″ wide, 21.25″ tall | — |
For 6 zones, the 6612 saves nearly 40 inches of wall width versus the horizontal equivalent. For 9, 12, and 15 zones, there is no single-piece horizontal equivalent — the 6612 is the only way to display that many zones simultaneously in one unit.
