Since 1994, 15 calibres with moon-phase displays have been developed in our manufactory. Five of them were photographed in front of the impressive star atlas "Harmonia Macrocosmica", one of the most impressive works of art in astronomical history, published in 1660 by Andreas Cellarius.



Today our last model: 1815 RATTRAPANTE PERPETUAL CALENDAR

The 1815 RATTRAPANTE PERPETUAL CALENDAR unites the technical fascination of a split-seconds chronograph with the enduring precision of a perpetual calendar. The Ptolemaic geocentric system is visible in the background. It postulated that the earth was the immutable centre of the universe until the theory was superseded by the Copernican revolution in the 16th century.
