O Atelier Knesebeck Hamburg e Timekeeper Chronometrie Germany acabam de anunciar uma peça de excepção - o Mystery of Time, com turbilhão em triplo eixo e planetário.
Foram dez anos de trabalho, desde que Tilmann von dem Knesebeck começou o desenvolvimento do Mystery of Time, uma edição limitada a 12 exemplares. Todos personalizados, ao gosto do comprador, tornando-os peças únicas.
O Mystery of Time consiste num relógio "misterioso" (mostrador totalmente transparente, sem mecanismo à vista) e num planetário, com as representações da Terra e da Lua nas suas posições relatrivas em tempo real. É feito em ouro e cristal de rocha. Bate horas e o calibre tem um turbilhão assente em três eixos. A coluna onde assenta tudo é feita em madeira preciosa, com filamentos de ouro.
A campânula envolvente abre e fecha por comando à distância e é composta por ouro, marfim de mamute e pedras preciosas.

The developer´s original intention was not to simply display the time, but to do this mysteriously and this he achieved: one cannot see the force that moves the watch´s hand; still it shows the time and seems to float independently above the mechanics.

The watch´s heart is the tourbillon, which again was intended to be something very special and this it became: the tourbillon moves over three axes and presents itself in the centre of attention...
A planetary configuration shows an earth made from gold, which calculates itself magically, revolves around itself within 24 hours, accompanied by a moon, which, too, wanders around the earth in real time, while revolving around its own axis...
In the body, two hairspring frames provide enough power to drive the mechanics. Every full hour, a hammer hits a golden bell; through the body made of mountain crystall one can glimpse the mechanics on the inside!
The pillar is closed during nighttime, almost inconspicuous, but in the morning awakens to magical life. Simultaneously with the first sun rays, the surface opens up and makes way for the treasure on the inside.
Slowly what is stored on the inside finds it way to the outside... The chapel arrives to slowly open up, similar to a flower, to unblock the view on the Grand Complication.
Twice a day this spectacle can be witnessed; a future owner can even activate this feature at will.
