DESCRIPTION:
When the Astronomia Tourbillon was introduced in 2014, the re-invention of the tourbillon in a vertical orientation and the constant turning of its four satellites garnered most of the attention.
What led to the development of the Astronomia Art Collection, however, is the incredible sapphire crystal and precious metal case, which puts everything on display.
- 3-D titanium, white gold and duck feather hyper-realistic Spider on top of the movement.
- Iconic gravitational triple-axis tourbillon.
- Four satellite arms turn around the dial in 10 minutes.
- 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond turning in 30 seconds.
- Magnesium globe turning in 30 seconds.
- Patented differential keeps the time display in the right orientation.
- Domed and curved, anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
