The story behind the Vicenterra Astroluna T3 Cosmos
The independent Swiss watchmaker Vicenterra offers a unique take on contemporary watchmaking. Designed by Vincent Plomb, the Astroluna T3 Cosmos model embodies a desire to incorporate a miniature planetarium onto the wrist. Unlike traditional displays on a flat surface, this timepiece offers a three-dimensional reading of the time. The watch’s design features an off-centre crown at the 2 o’clock position. This choice is not merely aesthetic; it meets a specific ergonomic requirement to prevent the generous case from striking the back of the hand during everyday movements. This attention to detail exemplifies the brand’s technical philosophy.
Case, movement and strap of this Astroluna T3 Cosmos
The case measures 43.5 mm in diameter and 13.5 mm in thickness, crafted from grade 5 titanium. A domed sapphire crystal protects a dial crafted from aventurine glass, evoking a starry night. The display centres on an off-centre hour and minute display, overlooking two three-dimensional dials. The first sphere represents the Earth and displays a second time zone coupled with a day/night indicator. The other sphere displays the phases of the moon. The date is discreetly positioned at 3 o’clock. The watch is powered by an automatic movement, the Seed 3000 calibre from Vaucher Manufacture, combined with an exclusive module developed by Vicenterra. This mechanism oscillates at 4 Hz and delivers a power reserve of 50 hours. The watch is fitted with a midnight blue ostrich leather strap, secured by a titanium folding clasp.
Why this Vicenterra watch
This timepiece is aimed at enthusiasts of independent watchmaking in search of unique complications. The three-dimensional design and mechanical animations offer a technical alternative to conventional displays. Vicenterra’s production remains limited, ensuring the exclusivity of each model. The combination of lightweight titanium and the aventurine dial creates a clear, textured contrast.
