Sidereal time is by far the least frequent way to calculate time, and today it truly is fundamentally only applied by practicing astronomers to assist them aim and track their telescopes. Perhaps that is why only unusual collector's timepieces have the privilege of being outfitted with it: IWC's new Siderale Scafusia will be the most complex view to leave the Schaffhausen factory to date.
The exquisitely rendered celestial chart on the back of your Siderale Scafusia is certainly one of its two centers of attraction. It is surrounded by revolving scales displaying a perpetual calendar, sidereal time, solar time, sunrise and sunset, and twilight-the latter via two polarized filters on colored, transparent disks that turn in opposite directions. As well as an understandable display of sidereal time and an arced scale indicating 96-hours of power reserve, the front is dominated by a sizable cutaway revealing a continual force tourbillon.
The Siderale Scafusia's complete movement comprises more than 500 elements and took 10 years to bring to fruition. In spite of all its complicated horological technological innovation, it remains straightforward to operate by just one crown and two recessed pushers. Furthermore, every single view made will automatically be special: the entire celestial chart is calculated individually for the future owner, and he or she can also customize the dial, situation, strap, hands, colors, resulting in over 200 style selections.
