Following Herschel’s discovery of Uranus during the 18th century, astronomers strived to be the one to unveil the remaining celestial bodies in our solar system. One man who enjoyed unrivalled success is William Lassell. Despite not identifying planets, he played a significant part in improving the reflecting telescope, and this led him to discover Hyperion, Triton, Ariel, and Umbriel, the moons of Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus. The Limited Edition Swan & Edgar Hand Assembled Lassell Elliptical Automatic Rose Beige men’s watch pays tribute to his contribution to space.
Its 210 part 20 jewel hand assembled automatic movement operates the luminous hands across the indices. The rose dial is detailed with Minutes, Day, Date & Month Counter, along with the exhibition window that reveals the briefest glimpse of our galaxy’s secrets. Its bezel adds the finishing touches to the rose gold IP case.
The Swan & Edgar logo engraved stainless steel caseback rose-beige leather bracelet, detailed with contrast stitching, complete the timepiece, and create an orbit-like design that matches the natural satellites that made Lassell an important figure in astronomical history.
