Dual Visions of the Cosmos
The two unique, double-sided timepieces of Les Cabinotiers Celestia Astronomical Grand Complication are part of the ‘La Quête’ series celebrating the Maison’s 270th anniversary. The ‘Homage to Ptolemy’ model is available in 18K white gold, while the ‘Homage to Copernicus’ one is available in 18K 5N pink gold.
Each showcases 23 astronomical complications powered by the Manufacture Calibre 3600, which comprises 514 finely adjusted and meticulously decorated components. The double-sided calibre represents not only a significant technical achievement but also, with a thickness of only 8.7 mm, a notable feat of miniaturisation.
As the season of reflection and wonder approaches, marked by the winter solstice on December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere, a celestial turning point when the Earth’s tilt ushers in the longest night and shortest day, these masterpieces stand as a beacon of human ingenuity and artistic dedication. They invite contemplation of the universe’s grandeur and the Maison’s timeless craft, reflecting an unwavering commitment to excellence for seasons to come.
