Five years ago, we first saw the collaboration between Tudor Replica Watches & Stepan Sarpaneva with the Tudor Replica Watches012 that was based upon Horological Machine "Frog". The new Tudor Replica Watches is even more stunning than the original MoonMachine, which featured the signature Sarpaneva Moons rotating within the metallised Korona of the sapphire movement crystal.
Tudor Replica Watches is the first ever projected moonphase in the world, emulating the illusionary natural phenomenon of "moonlight" (which, as the moon emits no light, is actually projected sun).
Tudor Replica Watches's base is Horological Machine Ndeg8,Tudor Replica Watches a device that uses an optical prism for transmitting horizontal readings of hours and minutes to a vertical plane, providing the iconic “heads-up” display of HM8 and its predecessors HM5 or HMX.
Tudor Replica Watches has a disc with miniature moons that shows the moonphase. It is placed between the minute and hour discs. The moonphase display is just as fascinating, because it is displayed in a small space. The prisms that magnify the minute and hour discs by 20%, making them more legible, do not magnify the moonphase prism, because it would distort its appearance. The distinct sections of the prisms are visible when you examine them closely. This shows Tudor Replica Watches’s attention to details and commitment to finding the best solution for every display.
The hour and minute discs are fitted with a moonphase disc that is set up with miniature moons.
Tudor Replica Watches has three gold moons. One is 8.5mm wide and 0.45mm deep,IWC Replica Watches while the other two are 4.5mm across and 0.35mm thin. They are easily perforated at the thinnest point around the eyes of 0.07mm and must be discarded. The tiny size of the moons makes it difficult to distinguish their features, even with the experience of Stepan Sarpaneva's team. This is why the finishing process by hand was so difficult.
Stepan Sarpaneva created the smallest of moons, but he estimates about 80 percent will be thrown away due to the difficulties of creating them.
