Frédéric Jouvenot Surya Solar Deity

Frédéric Jouvenot presents a world premiere in the shape of the only model ever made that indicates the time by twelve jumping petals rather than by hands, numerals or discs. Sparkling like the Indian sun god that inspired its name, the Surya watch displays two faces showing the day and night cycles. At noon, all the petals are a luminous green, while they gradually turn black as the hours slip by. At midnight, all are black and reflect the light in the darkness, before beginning another 24-hour cycle. Meanwhile, the minutes tick by in the centre, indicated by a marker turning on a fixed disc. This exceptional watch required two years of development to create the mechanical movement as well as the perfectly executed 3D stones on the dial.>>>Mechanical automatic movement.
