Since its introduction in 2014, the Astronomia watch has been all about form, movement and the universe. Evolution after evolution of this watch focused on space and the galaxy. Now, the 18-karat rose gold and sapphire Astronomia Revolution watch is equipped with an all-new movement and higher speeds. In the center of the watch are three different arms on a satellite carriage, each bearing a function (the hour/minute dial, the tourbillon and the seconds). The satellite rotates at a high speed of once per minute. At the same time, the triple-axis tourbillon also rotates - at two speeds. It is on the main axis rotating in one minute and on a second axis that completes a rotation once every 15 seconds for a well-orchestrated dance. The background behind the satellite and on the dial is an array of 18 mirrored hexagonal gold forms inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope. In this Revolution, the seconds are indicated via a space-probe-like spinning arrow with a ruby head.
