Inspired by George Graham’s invention of the first Orrery in 1713, the Geo-Graham Orrery Tourbillon marries horology and astronomy. Sealing the union are genuine, carved elements of Mars and the Moon. Representing their namesakes in each watch, these materials enable celestial bodies to get in touch with their earthly side. The heart and soul of the piece is a manual orrery tourbillon exclusively crafted for Graham by Christophe Claret, evolved from the 2013 Graham anniversary edition. Rooted in the age of enlightenment three centuries ago, this horological masterpiece incorporates a 300-year calendar to carry enlightened timekeeping into the future.

The miniature Copernican system will exhibit 100 successive years of planetary movement, with two extra graduations of 100 years producing 300 complete years of accurate demonstration. On top of this blue-lacquered dial, Gregorian and Zodiac calendars encircle the tourbillon bridge and may be read by the placement of the turquoise earth figurine.With such a heavenly viewpoint, this is the type of timepiece that arouses a romantic interpretation of the passing hours and minutes rather than one of pure operation. By creating a living monument to the solar system on the wrist, the Graham watchmakers are supplying a God’s eye perspective into the center of something all of humanity is affected by, but will never see from the outside.Check out the other watches that surfaced at WatchTime New York this season: The TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf Special Edition, The Longines Navigation BigEye, The Bremont 1918 Limited Edition, and four fresh A.
