Angular Momentum & Manu Propria has added a new playful timepiece concept to its Collection
Theatrum Proscenium
The Theatrum Proscenium Timepieces are constructed after the principles of the theater with the „proscenium arch“ in front, the „back drop“ in the back ground and the stage on which the hour and minute hands play as actors. The back drop continue the design of the „arch“ by two „Verre Églomisé“ miniature paintings on the reverse of the sapphire crystal and sapphire dial. Historical hand-winding movement Caliber FHF 72.

Since the Italian Renaissance, the most common stage used in the West has been the proscenium stage which may also be referred to as a picture frame stage. The primary feature is a large opening known as the proscenium arch through which the audience views the performance. The audience directly faces the stage—which is typically raised several feet above front row audience level—and views only one side of the scene. This one side is commonly known as the invisible fourth wall of the scene. The proscenium arch evolved from the proskenium in Ancient Greek theaters. This was the space in front of the skênê or backdrop where the actors actually played.
