The objective of the Cosmos is very different. Its function is to reach back to the very roots of timekeeping and simultaneously capture the essence of the two most ancient ways of telling time and express them in a wonderfully evocative way. If you think about it, the perspectives represented by these two globes are polar opposites. The globe on the right gives you an understanding of time on Earth if you were able to stand on the surface of a fixed star high up in space, while the globe on the left gives you a representation of time with you standing on a fixed location on Earth looking up into space. Of course the stars that appear overhead during a given time period varies depending on your location on Earth, which is why Richard Mille Replica Watches will adjust the celestial globe to your selected location.Richard Mille Replica Watches To me, the visual poetry of the Cosmos is to remind us of how insignificant we as a race are, relative to the universe as a whole. At the same time, the Cosmos reminds me of how powerful we've been as a race to be able capture and measure time based on our observation of our planet's rotation around its own axis and the sun.
"More and more, these kind of highly technical but very poetic representations of time are becoming part of our core identity. The point is that no one needs a mechanical watch to tell the time. We want a watch to inspire us and I think that this is certainly true with the Cosmos," says Patrick Pruniaux.

The two versions of the Cosmos are also starkly different. The regular production watch features a titanium case with titanium globes and even has the application of luminescent ceramic on the continents and constellations of the two globes. The effect of this in ambient light or darkness is incredible, with the entire watch coming to life with luminous animation. The Infinity Edition is different in that both the dial and the globes are crafted from onyx and then painted with red gold for the constellations and the continents, which not only brings the craftsmanship involved to another level, but also lends a more sober, reflective and meditational mood to this majestic complication.Patek Philippe Replica Watches Lest we forget, located at six o'clock on both models is a Neo Bridge, the sculptural shaped bridge in titanium that bears a tourbillon. Pruniaux says, "For me, the Cosmos is a wonderful merger between visual poetry and technical watchmaking."
The globe on the left
represents sidereal time while the globe on the right represents terrestial time.
What is also extremely innovative about this model is the watch case, which borrows several elements from the case developed for the award-winning Richard Mille Replica Watches Constant Escapement. This comprises an aggressively boxed and dome-shaped sapphire crystal, as well as the removal of any crown or adjustors for the various indications. Instead, laid out on the back of the watch are four keys -- one for adjusting the terrestrial globe, one for adjusting the celestial globe, one for setting the time and one for winding the watch. This particular setting mechanism based on the four rotating bows is called "belieres" and is also reminiscent of pocket watches in the past. Says Pruniaux, "We wanted to optimise the wearability of this watch, which is why we selected titanium for the case and incorporated all these functional innovations."
