Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication 3600 is another million-dollar creation. Twenty three complications – all astronomical indicators – are displayed on two faces on the front and back.The front shows civil time and solar time https://www.copywatchalike.is/.
A pair of Breguet hands indicate the former, which is the normal 24-hour time shown on watches. Solar time is indicated by a sun-tipped minute hand that shows the time according to the motion of the Earth around the Sun, also known as the equation of time. Over the year, that ranges from -16 to +14 minutes compared to the standard 24-hour day, due to the Earth’s elliptical orbit.The dial on the front also includes a perpetual calendar, a mareoscope or tide indicator at 11 o’clock, sunrise and sunset times at five and seven o’clock, as well as an aperture showing zodiac signs, seasons, solstices and equinoxes at four o’clock.
The case is an inevitable 45mm in diameter and a surprisingly slim 13.6mm high.Made up of 514 parts, the calibre 3600 inside is 8.7mm high. It has six barrels, giving the watch an impressive 21 day power reserve, making the slimness of the movement even more impressive.
