Solar System Celestial Body Rotating Watch





STORY

A world-first both in the boldness of its unprecedented concept
and its entirely mechanical construction,
the Astronomia has gone beyond impressive horological achievements
and has been regarded as an outstanding multidisciplinary
engineering achievement. R

e-engineered from the ground up,
the Astronomia Solar is the most compact
in our peerless collection of Astronomia calibers.

BEAUTIFULLY ARTISTIC

The Astronomia Solar Planets Jewelry makes for a beautifully artistic,
highly refined and fully mechanical recreation of our solar system,
to be appreciated like it has never been done before.

EXCLUSIVE ASTRONOMIA CALIBER

Composed of 444 components, all finished to the highest standards
of haute horlogerie, the Astronomia Solar Planets Jewelry
features two rotating platforms.

One comprises the three main arms and subsidiary arms of the caliber,
while the other is the aventurine Skylayer that serve
s as their spectacular, rotating backdrop.

ROTATING GEMSTONE PLANET DISPLAY

The Astronomia Solar Planets Zodiac brings a host of beautifully executed, astronomically inspired details to the world of Astronomia.

A view on four planets from our solar system can be admired
with a hand-painted blue magnesium globe for Planet Earth
and three gemstones crafted in the most complex of cuts.

FLYING TOURBILLON

Whereas the tourbillon was originally invented to be a single-axis,
rotating cage secured from above as well as below to carry
the regulating organ of a mechanical pocket watch
for improved timekeeping performance,
the Astronomia Solar Planets Jewelry presents
this 224-year-old invention in a yet more spectacular way.

CASE & CRYSTAL

The Astronomia Solar Planets Jewelry’ case
measures 44.5 millimeters in diameter and 21 millimeters thick
between the highest point of its specially curved front sapphire crystal
and the lowest point of its case.

Its 18K Rose Gold case holds a single-piece sapphire crystal window
around its periphery, allowing for unhindered viewing
of the spectacular caliber and gemstones inside.

DIAL & HANDS

The time display sub-dial of the Astronomia Solar Planets Zodia
c is driven through an infinitesimal differential system
that allows it to always remain levelled and hence perfectly legible,
even as the movement’s four-armed platform
performs its continuous, 10-minute orbit.

THE EIGHT PLANETS

White Granite for Mercury, Rhodonite for Venus,
Red Jasper for Mars, Pietersite for Jupiter,
Tiger Eye for Saturn, Blue Calcite for Saturn
and Lapis Lazuli for Neptune.
