It is a combination of watch-making craftsmanship and masterful decorative artistry. The Astronomia Toubillon is a beautiful rendering of the celestial world. Every element is in constant, visible motion. The moon is represented by a spherical briolette-cut diamond that rotates around the dial once every 20 minutes on the carrier, as well as rotating on its own axis once every 60 seconds. Each of the 56 facets of the “moon” constantly catch and refract the light. The earth is a globe of white gold, with oceans represented by deep blue, translucent fired enamel. It rotates once every 60 seconds on its own axis.
