SKY IN MOTION THE MOON PHASE COMPLICATION Thanks to the invention of the telescope, Galileo Galilei made revolutionary discoveries concerning the appearance and the movement of the moon. He made remarkably beautiful drawings of what he saw with an accuracy and attention to detail which is still amazing even today. So, in a timepiece dedicated to him, nothing would be more logical than the moon phases indication, a classic complication of high-end watchmaking which Panerai has interpreted in its own way and with an accuracy of a century. On the back of the new L'Astronomo’s P.2005/GLS movement is a day/night indicator which also clearly displays the phases of the moon, by means of a system consisting of two superimposed discs which rotate in combination. The upper disc - which is read by a small external index fixed onto the movement - displays the 24 hours of the day, showing the sun during the hours of daylight and the stars of the sky at night. At the centre of the starry sky is a little round window through which the lower disc can be seen; on this appears the moon, its shape evolving day by day as a result of a small supplementary rotation of this disc of about 6.1° per day, a figure based on the exact duration of one lunar cycle (an average of 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds). THE TRUE AND THE MEAN SOLAR TIME THE EQUATION OF TIME Over a year, the time indicated by a watch with perfect timekeeping will differ from the time indicated by a sundial when the sun is at its zenith. This difference ranges between -16 minutes 23 seconds and +14 minutes 22 seconds. This variation is called the Equation of Time and it can be calculated by trigonometric functions and empirical constants. It is indicated on the dial of L’Astronomo by a linear cursor positioned at 6 o’clock, which moves to display the current value of the equation of time. The equation of time indicates the difference between “true solar time” - when the sun is at its highest point in the sky - and “mean solar THE PANERAI FEATURES SUNRISE AND SUNSET L’Astronomo has two indicators, visible at each side of the dial, which display the time of Sunrise and Sunset according to the coordinates of latitude and longitude originally specified by the client. This function is achieved by a device with two cams - produced exclusively to match the coordinates supplied by the client - fitted inside the movement. STAGES OF CREATING THE CAMS 1 . A calculation tool enables an exact graph of sunrise and sunset times at the city chosen to be drawn. This information is transferred onto two cams. The cams are created using special 3D software. The cams are fitted into the movement and their interaction with the other parts is checked. RADIOMIR 1940 MINUTE REPEATER CARILLON TOURBILLON GMT Innovative, fascinating and highly complicated, the Radiomir 1940 Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon GMT Oro Rosso represents an important goal reached by Panerai which is launching an entirely mechanical system of great complexity which chimes the hours, ten-minute periods and minutes on demand. These various indications are obtained by means of three hammers striking three different notes, whose combination generates a particularly harmonious sound, similar to the ringing of a bell. The creation of a minute repeater watch which chimes ten-minute periods instead of fifteen-minute ones, as is usually the case, allows Panerai to distinguish itself by simplifying and making more immediate the calculation of time. One of the most remarkable features of this high-end timepiece is the possibility of selecting the time to be chimed by choosing between home time and local time. Thanks to the sapphire crystals placed on both the front and the back of the case, the new P.2005/MR calibre, completely developed by the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel and finely skeletonised, can be admired. This movement has a tourbillon escapement, whose cage rotates on an axis at right angles to the axis of the balance wheel, and which makes two rotations per minute: this rotation ensures greater accuracy, providing the best compensation for the irregular rate caused by the effect of the force of gravity. #Paneari #tourbillon #MinuteRepeater
