This isn't just a watch; it’s a tribute to the man who moved the Earth. I created this "Minimalist Edition" for those who appreciate the history of the legendary 1980s Copernicus but want a reliable, brand-new timepiece for daily wear.
The Concept: A Celestial Dance on Your Wrist
Inspired by Nicolaus Copernicus and the heliocentric system, this watch replaces traditional hands with orbiting discs:
The Sun: The large golden disc represents the Sun (Hour hand).
The Moon: The smaller black disc represents the Moon (Minute hand). As they move, they create a constantly changing "eclipse," turning the passage of time into a piece of kinetic art.
My Artisanal Process
I personally hand-assemble each piece to ensure it meets my standards. Here is what makes this watch unique:
Authentic Vintage Heart: I use original, unused (New Old Stock) Copernicus dials and hands. They are genuine pieces of watchmaking history.
Minimalist Customization: I meticulously remove all logos and inscriptions from the dial to achieve a "pure" look. No distractions—just the celestial orbit.
Modern Upgrades: While the dial is vintage, everything else is brand new. I’ve swapped the temperamental mechanical movement for a high-grade Quartz movement. It offers "grab-and-go" convenience with perfect accuracy—no winding required.
Premium Build: Encased in a new 40mm 316L stainless steel case (Gold finish) with a scratch-resistant crystal and a matching Milanese mesh strap.
