Crafted by visionary watchmaker Vincent Plomb, the "Tycho Brahe T2 Anthra" pays homage to the legendary astronomer Tycho Brahe through its inviting display of terrestrial time.
The off-center time display features an anthracite grey dial is dominated by a deep underneath luminous steel hands and applied indexes. A date window exists at the 3 o'clock position adjusted through the upper crown. But it is the rotating, hand-painted three-dimensional titanium Earth globe that truly sets the Tycho Brahe apart — a ingenious proprietary complication that completes one full revolution every 24 hours. This miniature world indicates, at a glance, the location where the sun is at its zenith (noon), while two small clear sapphire indicators highlight the zones experiencing 6 o'clock in the morning and evening, transforming the watch into a poetic GMT and solar time companion.
The reverse side reveals an additional view of the globe adjacent to the modified ETA 2982. The automatic winding movement beats at 4Hz and carries a power reserve of 42 hours.
The Grade 5 Titanium case measures 42.8mm x 11.7 x 51.6mm lug-to-lug and is in excellent condition. Furnished on a calfskin strap with signed VincenTerra titanium pin buckle. Complete with Box & Papers dated May 29th, 2024. Special Edition #84/99.
