Universe-Inspired Watches

The 'Deep Space Tourbillon' Incorporates the Mechanics of the Universe

— June 17, 2013 — Art & Design
Inspired by the physics of the world, Vianney Halter built a watch called 'Deep Space Tourbillon' that reflects the inner workings of our universe. The exquisite time-keeper was made to reflect the four dimensions that we have come to enjoy on Earth. Halter's watch design incorporates length, width, depth and time.

After a long creativity drought, Halter became inspired by the television series Deep Space Nine. The show is a spin-off of the intergalactic Star Trek series. After obsessively watching the show, Halter began having dreams where he had to explain Earth to extraterrestrials. In his dreams, the only way that he could describe the dimensions of earth was through what is now the Deep Space Tourbillon.
