Photographer, pilot chase sunset for ad (Video)

WASHINGTON — A photographer and pilot chased the sun through the Earth’s different time zones to make a memorable advertisement.

Over the course of eight hours, photographer Simon Roberts and ex-NATO pilot Jonathan Nicol chased the sun around the globe. They let the Earth spin underneath them while Roberts took photos of all 24 sunsets along the way.

The ad, called “Chasing Horizons,’ promotes Citizen’s new Eco-Drive Satellite Wave F100 watch. The watch automatically adjusts to the proper time zone within three seconds with the press of a button.
