How to Read Time with the Since 4.6 B.Y.R.S.
With the watch on your wrist, held perfectly horizontal, align the silver Augé logo (at 12 o’clock on the dial) with the sun. The compass rotates, stabilizes, and its pointers then indicate the time on the bezel.
THIS IS NOT A WATCH, AND IT WILL NEVER BE
Could there be a more timeless way to measure eternity? Whether worn daily or forgotten for generations, this timepiece tells time without any source of power whatsoever.
The design of this creation is built around an everlasting need. We envision that, at some point in its journey, this piece passed down from one generation to the next may be lost, tucked away in an attic, perhaps for centuries or even longer. Yet, we want it to remain as precise and elegant as the day it emerged from its box when it is finally rediscovered.
To achieve this, we drew inspiration from antiquity, from symbols observable in the sky, and crafted it with components like titanium that will endure for thousands of years
TITANIUM
"Nothing but the best" these were the straightforward instructions from Augé in crafting its masterpiece. The case is built from Grade 5 titanium, renowned for its non-magnetic properties, ensuring that the integral compass operates with absolute precision. This esteemed material, celebrated for its lightness and strength, seamlessly merges with style, imparting a unique touch to the timepiece
UNMATCHED QUALITY AND ETHICAL INTEGRITY
The compass embedded in the “Since 4.6 billion years” timepiece, is none other than the best and it is crafted by Suunto. In 1953, Suunto began crafting precision navigational instruments for professionals, establishing itself as a pioneer in exploration. With the acquisition of Recta AG, a revered Swiss watchmaker since 1897, Suunto inherited a legacy of artisanal expertise and meticulous Swiss craftsmanship. Compass are manufactured in Norway using renewable energy.
A ROAD PAVED WITH STONES
MATHEMATICAL COMPLEXITY
To achieve that relentless quest for an outstanding style while having an extremely accurate compass, we had to keep enough space for the compass card to move freely. Giving it a movement margin of 30 degrees tilt, is to give enough space for the compass card to rotate with minimum friction to align accurately to the magnetic poles. Meanwhile we work on each detail of the case, to chase micro millimetres, that is how we achieve the result of a height of 13.5mm, ranking amongst the thinnest watch chronograph.
SOLAR TIME FACING TIMEZONE
While calculating angles between magnetic pole and sun’s position on the horizon gives you the natural time it is however challenged by the time zones that are human creation and not based on the reality. Yet again to tackle that challenge, we source inspiration from the pilot watch that use bezel. We implemented a bezel moving on both direction, with 120 clics to get as close as needed to the timezone time. That is how combining nature and innovative design we sought out the way only by reading the elements to have an accurate time.
