On one side, a Victorian gentleman in a top hat clutches a pocket watch, while on the other, a futuristic traveler in sleek attire gazes at a holographic map. The background is a tapestry of historical landmarks and futuristic skyscrapers, illuminated with shimmering lights, as the air crackles with the energy of time itself.
