The story behind this Vicenterra Tycho Brahe
Vicenterra takes a technical approach to timekeeping by placing the Earth at the centre of its creations. Conceived by independent watchmaker Vincent Plomb, the collection pays homage to the 16th-century Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe. The model bearing the reference VT.TBT5.X1.25 embodies this philosophy. Its unique feature lies in the incorporation of a miniature three-dimensional globe. This complication offers a constantly rotating geographical display, allowing the wearer to contemplate the planet as it would appear from space. This approach transforms the display of the hours into a precise mechanical reading.
Case, movement and strap of this Tycho Brahe
The asymmetrical case measures 42.8 mm in diameter. It is crafted from solid Grade 5 titanium with a matt black finish. The domed sapphire crystal protects a black aventurine glass dial studded with sparkling inclusions. The off-centre hour and minute display hovers above this textured dial. The rotating sphere is situated in the lower right-hand corner. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the ETA 2892 self-winding mechanical movement, topped with the brand’s module. This mechanism, fitted with 27 jewels, beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of 42 hours. The watch is water-resistant to 50 metres. It is secured to the wrist by a hand-stitched matt black alligator leather strap, fastened with a titanium pin buckle.
