Sauterelle à heure mondiale

An exceptional piece of contemporary independent watchmaking art, the Sauterelle à Heure Mondiale by Andreas Strehler is a stunning world time and GMT masterpiece which combines breathtaking beauty and meticulous attention to detail, with a compendium of beautifully conceived and exquisitely executed complications of micro mechanical sophistication and complexity, yet intuitive user friendliness from one of the great horological innovators of our time.

The cushion-shaped tonneau case of the Sauterelle à Heure Mondiale measures 41mm across, 47.2mm from lug tip to lug tip and a slender 10mm in height. Available in a choice of 18Kt rose gold, platinum stainless steel or titanium, its flowing lines and curvaceous surfaces are polished to a gleaming finish, while the sculpted crown adds to the sense of elegance.

Beneath the curved sapphire crystal, the display features off-centred hours and minutes with leaf style hands in white gold on a deep blue dial with guilloché decoration whilst a sapphire index ring, engraved with indices, adds depth to the captivating three dimensional view.Adjacent to the time display, a domed view of the northern hemisphere from above the North Pole rotates counter-clockwise in a 24-hour cycle, with a fine line depicting 0º longitude, and serves to illustrate not only a 24-hour time display, but night and day as well, as the hours of darkness are ingeniously covered by the overhanging sapphire minutes ring.
