MARTIN BRAUN EOS 42 - Grande Complication - astronomical watch - Men - 2011-present
Martin Braun is considered a pioneer in the world of haute horlogerie by creating the first mechanical wristwatch with a complex sunrise and sunset display - the EOS. His masterpiece, the EOS, pays homage to the Greek goddess of dawn and symbolizes the beginning of a new day. Awarded multiple times for its innovation and aesthetics, this watch captivates connoisseurs and collectors alike with its unique functionality and beauty. Its ability to present the times of sunrise and sunset with breathtaking accuracy is represented by two long, crossed titanium hands on the dial, complemented by short circular segment scales for intuitive readability.
A fascinating feature of the EOS is the mechanism, made visible by control cams at the bottom of the dial. These cams control the movement of the crossed titanium hands and, along with the circular segment scales, are interchangeable to adapt the watch to different latitudes. This unique feature allows the watch to be set specifically to the wearer's geographical location or latitude to provide unparalleled precision in display.
The sunrise time display is a constant testament to the transience of time and the eternal beauty of the first light of day. This watch not only embodies Martin Braun's visionary spirit, but also celebrates the daily spectacle of the sky in a way previously unmatched in the world of fine watchmaking.

Cork strap: Cork shares many positive properties, such as the high wearing comfort of comparable leather bracelets, but does not contain any animal ingredients.
