The watch was manufactured in Switzerland by the renowned timepiece manufacturer Revue Thommen.
The steel watch case has a diameter of 50 mm.
In accordance with the so-called sidereal time the clock is permanently nearly 4 minutes fast per day. Because, entirely unlike your regular clock, a time interval between two upper culminations of the First Point of Aries applies here. And that is, to be exact, 23 hours 56 minutes and 3.4 seconds. In addition, the indicator turns counter-clockwise.
The gorgeous dial displays the zodiac disc and the visible part of the night sky.
This watch does not have daylight savings time and therefore never requires adjustment.
A unique watch which is highly sought-after worldwide.
