Sidereal time is by far the least widespread approach to calculate time, and these days it is fundamentally only employed by practicing astronomers to help them aim and track their telescopes. Possibly this is why only unusual collector's timepieces have the privilege of getting outfitted with it: IWC's new Siderale Scafusia will be the most difficult watch to leave the Schaffhausen factory to date.
The exquisitely rendered celestial chart around the back of the Siderale Scafusia is certainly one of its two centers of attraction. It's surrounded by revolving scales displaying a perpetual calendar, sidereal time, solar time, sunrise and sunset, and twilight-the latter by way of two polarized filters on colored, transparent disks that turn in opposite directions. As well as an understandable show of sidereal time and an arced scale indicating 96-hours of electrical power reserve, the front is dominated by a big cutaway revealing a continual force tourbillon.
The Siderale Scafusia's total motion comprises more than 500 elements and took 10 years to bring to fruition. Despite all its complex horological technologies, it remains easy to operate by just a single crown and two recessed pushers. In addition, every watch created will automatically be unique: the whole celestial chart is calculated individually for the long term owner, and he or she may also customize the dial, case, strap, hands, colors, resulting in above 200 design alternatives.
