The intricate mechanics at the heart of the watch showcase three celestial bodies. Between 10 and 11 o’clock is the Sun, its radiant presence brought to life through meticulous laser engravings. These precise lines, shapes and dots adorn a PVD black brass plate, elevating the watch’s aesthetic appeal.
Nestled between 4 and 5 o’clock, the Earth gracefully envelops the barrel. This ingenious integration seamlessly connects the Earth’s movements with the rotation of the watch’s hand. The Earth undergoes a complete disc rotation, peacefully turning every 6 hours and 40 minutes in a total of 3.6 rotations a day.

The journey eventually leads to the Moon, delicately represented by a slender crescent at 8 o’clock. Intricate circles and lines grace this lunar element, revealing the balance wheel beneath—a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship. An inscription of Dr Woo’s name further accentuates the celestial theme, serving as a reminder of the profound interplay of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Available in a 42mm sleek black ceramic casing engraved Dr Woo’s iconography that encircles the bezel and flange.
