Catalogue Essay
The Equation of Time collection features a precise reading of daily variation and displays the difference between mean solar time and apparent solar time. The dial is fitted with four subsidiary dials indicating the month combined with moon phases, sunrise and sunset displays and date combined with day. The position and configuration of these indicators are inspired from the pocket watches by Audemars Piguet manufactured in 1925. The present watch, a special edition for Hong Kong, represents an astonishing compendium of mastery and technical skills.
