Antikythera Sunmoon Watch By Hublot



Which shows that love has a purpose and not just a simple display of expensive stuff in public, this is the copy that you need. New Hublot Antikythera SunMoon for good connoisseurs of watches, and not for those who only look at the price. The "SunMoon Antikythera" watch with highly accurate indicators of Sun and Moon, the famous "Tribute to the Antikythera Mechanism," one of the most mysterious in the history of civilization objects.

On display at the Archaeological Museum of Athens, the Antikythera Mechanism is considered the first "astronomical calculator" in the history of mankind, and dates back to the 2nd century BC (somewhere between 150 and 100 BC ).

Hublot has created four tributes to the mechanism, one for BaselWorld 2013 exhibition, one in Paris, the Museum of Arts and Crafts, the third held by Hublot and the fourth to be auctioned in 2014. Hublot has created 20 pieces in tribute to their design inspired background.

Antikythera Sunmoon with a mechanical hand-wound movement with a flying tourbillon rotation every minute second set. In addition to the hour and minute indication, the watch has a hand rotating moon. The hand is read by a circular eindow with prolonged indicating in the first concentric circle sidereal position of the Moon seen from the Earth end.

The timepiece allows the user not only tell time, but also to determine the name of the constellation behind the sun and the time required for the sun to pass though it. Similarly, the user can read the moon phase through the constellation behind it and the time required for the moon to pass through. .
