Keeping a tab on time doesn’t necessarily mean just watching the hour and
minutes hands chase each other in an endless quest. Hysek has gone a step further and has come up
with Colosso that gives you the liberty to watch the earth spin (literally)
right on your wrist. For the first time some watch maker has dared to trap our
globe on to time-telling device as the crystal pustule filled with a dimensional
earth rotates for local or GMT time. This 12mm three dimensional globe
majestically sits at 12 o’clock. The movement is implemented by cathedral timbre
and 62 jewels with a 48 hour power reserve. Featuring a big date at 12 o’clock,
it also dsiplays indication of the cities of the 24 time zones linked to the
GMT.
The retrograde time zones with a linear double display is situated at the
lower end and displayed in curvex position with indication arrows that indicate
which side to observe (24 to 12 hours / 12 to 24 hours). And since you cannot
afford a piece of moon for $550,000, why not strap this Colosso
on your wrist for the same price and flaunt our spinning earth instead?
