Vulcania -3Dwatch
Vulcania concept is now reality. From Jules Verne Steampunk hero, Captain Nemo and the island we have Vulcania, a special watch not only by name but by it structure. Fabrice Gonet, the designer of this watch succeeded in creating a 3D Watch (actually 11 of them for now). You will admire the watch in April at the SIHH (Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie) in Geneva.
The hours are determined from the rotating wheel cylinders on the left, the minutes on a disc like a ship’s Chadburn Telegraph, a sextant style power reserve indicator, porthole loupe date window, and highlighted by the tilted bi-axial tourbillon. All the watch functions can be seen through its front and rear sapphire glass panels, side-viewing porthole, and the back plate has an etched map with its coordinates engraved on it. The case is titanium and platinum.
