ASTROLABIUM GALILEO GALILEI This wristwatch was the first of the Trilogy series which was introduced in 1985. Named after GALILEO GALILEI it is a tribute to his astronomical discoveries. This timepiece was the first in the world to have all of the following complications: time of day; perpetual calendar; moon phases; moonrise and moonset; sunrise and sunset; dawnand dusk; signs of the zodiac; and Solar and Lunar eclipses. The most complicated function is the ability of the watch to indicate the positions of sun moon and stars as seen from the Earth. Also shown on the dial is the Tropic of Capricorn. All of the numerous features of the watch are controlled through the single winding crown. Due to its complexity as it was based on the astrolabe it was featured on the cover of the Guinness Book of World Records and was cited in the book.
