The Swiss Azimuth company has performed a real revolution in watchmaking industry with its innovational elaborations and futuristic projects. The young brand places its main stake not on the classics, approved by ages, but on its won inimitable style creation. Azimuth watches design challenges human imagination. The company’s talented experts’ most genius invention is the “Back in Time” watch. Azimuth watch movements have proved, that the miracles of navigation let you turn time backwards. Having assured in the real time machine creation impossibility, they invented a watch, that gives an illusion of the backward flow of time and give hope for returning back into the past. The timepieces’ central hands move counterclockwise, but, despite the unnatural hands’ movement, indicate the right time. You will get rid of the constant hurrying and being late with this watch, you’ll be able to enjoy the illusionary minute of returning back into the glorious past and relax before the new inevitable hurl into reality. The Azimuth Back in Time watch is a great present for people with a philosophic cast of mind, who frequently think about time, fleeting and swift-flowing, setting the rhythm of life and determining the values, it has no power over.
It’s rather difficult to read time on this watch, you have to train a lot and very hard to learn to do it. The model is driven by an ETA movement, enhanced by Azimuth company. The company’s designers have specially created the dial with reversed hour indexes in order to support the “backwards watch” format. The timepieces’ crown is also situated in an untraditional place – it’s placed on the left side of the case’s surface.
The watch’s case is made of stainless steel, the dial is covered with a sapphire crystal and the transparent aperture on the watch’s case back enables the curious watch mechanics connoisseurs to watch the movement’s operation, the balance wheel’s oscillations.
The model was submitted to the demanding watchmaking art connoisseurs’ approval in 2009. |
