Frederic Houvenot's latest addition to his Solar Deity collection is a feminine version named Surya, after the Hindu Goddess of the Sun. The white gold frame of this high-end jewelry piece is embellished with over two carats worth of round diamonds. The patented display of time in the form of petals incorporates additional noble materials. The proprietary automatic caliber enables this type of display, which makes the watch an authentic high-horology piece. Surya's jumping hour display is made up of petals that are either green tsavorite or pink sapphire depending on the version. Each version is a limited edition of 88 pieces.
Frederic Jouvenot, a privately held company named after its owner and founder,Patek Philippe Replica is a private owned business. Jouvenot, an expert in micro-mechanics, was previously employed by Minerva. He came up with a mysterious tourbillion without arms. He was then employed as a designer shadow at a brand that specialized in creating innovative movements.
In 2008, Jouvenot launched his own brand. In 2011, the Geneva Time Exhibition awarded the Superwatch Award to his Helios watch, which had the same type of time display as the new Surya. Surya is the first feminine version of such expressions of time.
The unconventional way to display the time includes a central rotating segment that is used for minutes. This segment is the Sun, as the manufacturer intended. It also gives the collection its name. The display is also interesting because it has a petal type of indication to show the jumping hours. The hour display displays the time in 24-hour format. We will explain the workings of this clock. The dial has twelve petals, each with two sides: lighter and darker.Rolex Daytona Replica All the petals turn darker when it's midnight. After 60 minutes, the central segment completes a full rotation and a single petal is turned to the lighter side by the jumping hour mechanism of the caliber. When noon arrives, the petals are all turned to the lighter side. The process will then be reversed.
