Angular Momentum Great premise driving the designs. The name suggests the dynamics of a rotational movement. The great astronomer and physicist Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was the first to hypothesize about a relationship between a moment of inertia and angular velocity. He described the rotational inertia of an object or a system of objects in motion, using this to illustrate the movement of the earth around the sun in combination with our planets rotation with the rotating moon.
With a very whimsical approach, this design statement is what drives the companies designs. I have no experience with one of there time pieces as of late, but will remedy the situation with the arrival of the AXIS/World Timer. It is 42mm and has a ETA 2893-2 movement.
