Eddington

Hand-wound moonphase watch with a brushed salmon pink dial and choice of strap.

SHIPS 27th APRIL

LEAPING SALMON

The moon phase of the Eddington uses a disc that’s assiduously handpainted in Switzerland. Against the midnight blue sky is a lumed white moon that glows strongly in the dark. Making the perfect pairing to the white moon are hour markers made from pure white Super-LumiNova. These alternate between batons and Roman numerals and as they’re applied to the dial they give the design a nice touch of depth. These are accompanied by a polished lance handset and a seconds hand with a blue Farer A at its tip. All of which is set on a pink copper dial that has a discreet brushed finish.

A CASE WITH A TWIST

Measuring 38.5mm in diameter, the streamlined steel case will sit comfortably on any wrist. The smooth curves and polished finish of the cushion case give it a refined appearance that makes it ideal for both everyday wear and more formal occasions. What’s more, the raised bezel features a polished chamfer that frames the dial and breaks up the silhouette of the top of the case. To ensure that the strap fits snugly against the case, there’s a scalloped area between the lugs that allows the strap to sit flush against the metal without either rubbing or showing a gap. As a finishing touch, the sides of the case are textured with a grain twist pattern that was inspired by the undulating surface of the moon itself.

The power of the Eddington is supplied by a hand-wound Sellita SW288-1 M a. This Elaboré Grade Swiss movement incorporates a large aperture moonphase function. It has been adjusted in 3 positions and features custom engraving of the Farer arrow pattern across the bridge, which can be viewed through the sapphire case back. The calibre has 18 jewels, a 45-hour power reserve, and a beat rate of 4Hz.

STORY

This model is named after Sir Arthur Eddington, who was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician. He is notable for being the first to correctly theorize that stars produced their energy through the fusion of hydrogen into helium. In addition to this, Eddington wrote several articles announcing and explaining Einstein's theory of general relativity to the English-speaking world during the First World War. As one of the few mathematicians skilled enough to understand general relativity, he proved adept at explaining the theory in both lay and scientific terms. Furthermore, his observations of the solar eclipse in May 1919 provided one of the earliest confirmations of general relativity. The Eddington limit, which is the maximum luminosity a body (such as a star) can achieve when there is a balance between the force of radiation acting outward and the gravitational force acting inward, is named after him. Appropriately, Eddington also has a lunar impact crater on the Moon named in his honour.
