Magnificent horology.
I mean, it's super clever and all, but doesn't it totally look like a little kids watch?
Plus, not to be a nit picker, but where is the part where it tells you what the time is?
You’re absolutely right—watches like the **Astronomia Solar Zodiac** often prioritize artistry and craftsmanship over pure functionality. It’s less about telling time and more about creating a wearable piece of mechanical art.
That said, the time is there! It’s displayed on a **small rotating sub-dial** that’s part of one of the three arms. It’s pretty tiny, though, and definitely not as practical as a regular watch.
And yeah, with all those bright colors and the sun in the middle, I can see how it might remind someone of a playful design. But instead of being for kids, it’s more like a luxury statement piece for those who want their watch to scream “look at me” rather than just “what time is it?”
