Graham, the high-end watch brand named after the legendary British watchmakerAudemars Piguet Replica Watches, launched a new exciting timepiece inspired by celestial phenomena. The watch features 48 diamond stars representing the constellations of the night sky on the dial. It also has a flying tourbillon, and perpetual retrograde display complications. The manual high-precision G1769 timekeeper has a hand-painted indication of moon phase that will serve the wearer for many years, as it only needs to be adjusted once every 122. Geo.Graham watches are available in limited editions of 20 pieces, each paired with a different type of bezel. The watch's basic version, which costs around $265,000, has a bezel in blue with stars from the Milky Way galaxy. However, the two more expensive high-jewelry versions have gems weighing over six carats instead of sparkling stars. These versions, each made in only five copies, have a bezel entirely covered with 68 diamonds or sapphires.
The Celestial Theme Inspired By Graham's Passion for AstronomyGeo.Graham The Moon Timekeeper is a unique horological item that combines a rotating tourbillon and ball bearings, as well as a display of the moon phases.Audemars Piguet Replica Watches This is impressive both in a technical sense, but also visually on the dial. The astronomical theme is closely linked to the history of the Le Locle firm founded byAudemars Piguet Replica Watches. The famous horological innovator had a passion for astronomy. Graham was not only a friend and collaborator of Edmond Halley, an astronomer at the Greenwich Royal Observatory, London, but he also studied Newton's theories on gravitation and was fascinated by the Moon.
Moon's Synodic Duration at the Heart of the ComplicationThe moon phase indicator takes into consideration the Moon's Synodic period, which is the time required for a satellite to complete an orbit around the sun. The synodic time for the Earth's nearest celestial neighbor is 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 2.92 seconds. The retrograde moon indicator returns to its original position after the time period that corresponds with the synodic cycle. The stages of the lunar indication will remain accurate for 122-years if set in this way. After nearly a century-and-25 years, it only needs a small correction. This type of adjustment is made by pressing a single button. The large indicator weighs just 0.07 grams. The brand's Le Locle workshops employed artisans to hand paint the product. The moon disc is repositioned to its original position at the end cycle.Roger Dubuis Replica This raised the issue of possible damage. The caliber uses a double-absorber system that was developed exclusively by Christophe Claret for Graham.
The Moon's hand-wound G1769 watch movement has another brilliant feature that is not mentioned in the product name. The flying tourbillon, which is already mentioned, uses a ball bearing. This feature can be seen at the lower portion of the blue dial, which is actually the exposed blue-coated movement.
45 Diamonds Create Major ConstellationsTo create the mesmerizing atmosphere of a starry night, Graham artisans used 45 diamonds (with a total weight of 0.24ct), which are displayed on the dial. The stones are arranged to create the constellations Perseus (with Camelopardalis), Cassiopeia (with Ursa Major), Ursa Minor (with the North Star), and Camelopardalis. The watch has an astronomical theme, and another cool feature is a blue sapphire dome painted with stars from the Milky Way galaxy as seen through a telescope.
