The Apolar - For an Unorthodox Take on Time Reading
B020 – “APOLAR” Series Light Blue Dial model is one of our best seller. It’s a mechanical wristwatch we have developed base on the inspiration from the relationship between ‘Earth & Moon’. From which we have adopted a Swiss Made automatic movement (with special polished decorations) as a power source and then we installed a mechanical module which we have designed, developed, and constructed completely in-house to display a unique time display as well as a Moon track motion relative to the rotating Earth.
B020 APOLAR Functions:
The globe on the dial rotates once every 24 hours (day / night indicator) while the ring track drives the micro moon orbiting the globe once 28 days, a system which provides a function of demonstration of celestial motion of our home planet and the moon (27.32 Days).
Unlike the traditional way of time telling by using hands, we have adopted 2 discs and decentralized system locating at the bottom of the dial (left & right) to represent the time in ‘Hours’ & ‘Minutes’ respectively. Whereas there is a small seconds’ hand in the center.
The “Apolar” with its unique design (an official GPHG 2020 nominee) offers a new aspect of telling time and may set a milestone in the watch designing concept.
