Jupiter Watch

Jupiter Watch

Jupiter Watch is an innovative timepiece that revolutionizes traditional watch design through its unique planetary time-telling mechanism. The watch features a sophisticated system where steel spheres roll within hydraulically pressed channels, controlled by magnetic forces, to indicate hours and minutes. The design's distinctive characteristic lies in its minimalist approach, eschewing conventional watch hands and markings in favor of two orbiting spheres that track time along circular paths. The watch's construction showcases exceptional engineering, incorporating a convex-shaped crystal glass dome that seamlessly transitions into a sandblasted 316L stainless steel casing, while also serving to contain the spheres within their designated paths. At its core, the watch utilizes a Swiss Ronda quartz movement to drive the magnetic system, demonstrating a harmonious blend of traditional watchmaking and innovative design. The timepiece's technical specifications include a 41mm width case with 14mm thickness, a screwed-on case back, and water resistance up to 5 ATM. The design, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, represents a significant advancement in horological design, combining functional innovation with aesthetic refinement. The watch's development, which began in 2019, evolved from initial experiments with flux detector foil and magnetic field visualization, ultimately resulting in a more refined and practical solution that maintains both readability and timeless appeal. This groundbreaking design approach has garnered significant recognition, particularly in Japan where it achieved remarkable success through crowdfunding.
