Blu Planet Collection

Posted on by

Swiss luxury watch brand BLU’s concept with the Planet collection is to break with timekeeping’s most hallowed tradition: using hands to indicate the time by pointing to markers on the dial. The BLU Planets uses instead mankind’s most natural and fundamental appreciation of time – the revolution of our planet and its orbit around the sun.

In the Planet collection, a man-made miniature of the universe rotates on its axis like a planet orbiting the sun.

The main dial of the Blu Planet watch revolves on their axis every 12 hours indicating the hours, while a sub-dial set into the main disk displays the minutes in a (relatively) traditional manner, where the full hour position is always upright.

Art in their own right, the Planet watches by BLU (Bernhard Lederer Universe) are designed to create a sense of balance and tranquility with the displays maintaining their own harmonious space. The innovative displays are sublimely designed to emphasize the difference between indicating time and interpreting the time.
