The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Ptolemaic Universe Owner Review : Beautiful, hypnotic and fun

Just because a system has been disproven doesn't mean you can't wear it on your wrist. So, let's be clear from the start, it's better to clarify things in the age of the internet where people easily take the second degree literally, the core business of the guild of unemployed philosophers (The Unemployed Philosophers Guild in English) is not watchmaking, but the second degree, These are people who have made a business out of schoolboy humor. They sell objects to give away with humor and of course they make watches. This watch takes up in a half-antique, half-Monty Python style the solar system as proposed by Ptolemy, the earth on which we are located at the center. The sun is located on the minute hand, the moon on the hour hand, and everything else (the other planets and stars on the second hand). It's pretty, it's clear, it's impressive, it's something other than the Copernican system that Raketa successfully took up. Of course, the Ptolemaic system also included deferents and epicycles to try to stick a little closer to what was happening in the sky. But hey, we're not going to worry about that. Ptolemy demonstrated that the Earth is spherical while today millions of people are somewhere convinced that the Earth is flat (5 million in France alone), so we can caricature the system to make a watch. The movement is quartz, which is a blessing, because it allows you to make a watch for 42 dollars, remember that 42 is the answer to "The big question about life, the Universe and the rest" in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In short, it's a watch that seriously, doesn't take itself seriously ;) Otherwise, the Chinese manufacturing is correct, TUPG watches have the crown at 4 o'clock which is offbeat, at least funny. The case is rather small (33mm for 40g with leather strap) but we don't really notice the colors and concentric circles give the impression of being a little wider. I don't know what the autonomy is, but the second hand disc of the universe with the stars and planets may impact it, because it is probably heavier to move than a classic second hand, but I haven't had a battery failure for the moment.
