VICENTERRA offers high-quality and ingenious mechanical timepieces manufactured in Switzerland. This young watch company launched its first complication watch GMT 3 in 2010. Now, the Swiss luxury watch maker proposes its second project VICENTERRA LUNA, a new complication in 3 dimensions, offering an original and poetic view of the Moon and earth; both arranged between the movement and its protective case.
VICENTERRA LUNA sets a 3-dimensional stage for the moon, revealing each quarter and phases in a spatial manner. The earth indicates the geographical zone of the Sun at its zenith, or simply where it’s noon on earth. The magic of these two stars is complete with the magnificent starlit night between the setting and the rising sun.
The black dial shows applied hour markers escorted by a minute markers in stealth mode, in which fits the name of the new model “LUNA”. Inside the timepiece, a deep infinite black colour enhances the complications in a spray of shining stars.
The base movement the Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier Calibre Seed VFM 3002. This movement has a 42 hours reserve, two barrels in series and its landings contain 28 jewels. The exclusive additional module was developed by VICENTERRA.
This movement was chosen as its watch-making high quality, its finishes and prestigious decorations, Swiss Made. The white golden oscillating weight benefits from an exclusive drawing personalized by the House.
