It will be fine watchmaking process and the "approximate" time as the main purpose of both coexistence possible. Subscribers originally proposed this idea based on the assumption that modern people no longer need to have the most accurate time, for example, in many parts of the world, appointments need only be made in such a broad time frame as "morning" or "night." The 10:12 or 17 points are insignificant to Philosophia's owners. This watch production concept is born. Although the subscriber's unusual attitude toward reading time remains an outstanding connoisseur. He is not indifferent to the watch, on the contrary, he is very keen on the function of complex watches, and is a watch collector. Philosophia covers all the complexities in one go. Designed in the Patrimony Heritage Collection as a blueprint, this work has a single hour hand with a 24-hour display that allows the wearer to read only hours without having to know in detail the exact time such as minutes. But to read the exact time, just press the Philosophia's minute repeater function button to know the hour and minute. For example, when the hour hand points to less than 6 o'clock, and if the correct time is 5:57, the timer will report in 5 low bass, 3 low bass and 12 high bass to show the exact time. Another cutting-edge tabulation technology used on Philosophia is the tourbillon, which is located at 6 o'clock on the dial and rotates every 60 seconds. The owner of the watch is also an astronomy enthusiast who asks for a precise moon phase for the watch. The moon craters on the moon phase plate on the left side of the dial are clearly visible. There is also a Polaris shining around it. On the back of the watch, the power reserve display is fitted with a plaque printed with the constellation Ursa Major and Cubs.

This detail processing also extends to the operation of the watch's 522-component manual winding movement. The movement drives a three-minute timer, a 60-second tourbillon and moon phase display. All the parts are carefully decorated, even those that can not be seen by the surface by hand polished. For example, the plywood and hands are matte polished to a beautiful hand-polished matte texture. These are the only watchmakers can watch when they open the watch for repair.
