Explained simply
Mechanical watches measure time through small, moving parts, while some also track astronomical cycles such as the Moon’s phases or the changing positions of stars. Watchmakers can use these features both to display information and to create decorative designs.
The watches in this story draw on different links between timekeeping and space, from charts of the night sky to lunar images and meteorite materials. Some connect astronomy with particular dates, places or legends, showing how scientific ideas and cultural stories can shape a watch’s design.
