AXIS No.1

42 mm stainless steel case with single curved sapphire crystal The sapphire crystal is printed on the reverse with a black basket design with aperture for digital time display, shown by white hour and minute disks revolving clock-wise. (Patent CH989688)

The timepiece is driven by a historical hand-winding movement, Caliber FHF 96 with a two-day power reserve, manufactured between 1950 to 1975 by the Fabrique d'Horlogerie Fontainemelon, the oldest and most influent movement manufacturer founded in Fontainemelon in 1793. The factory's contribution to the Swiss watchmaking industry is significant, particularly in the context of horological innovation and craftsmanship among the system of winding and hand setting via the crown.

REVOLVING-DISK-SYSTEM (Patent CH989688)

Angular Momentum’s AXIS No.1 watch is a unique and innovative timepiece that has gained attention in the watchmaking world for its unconventional approach to telling time. Founded by Martin Pauli in 1998, Angular Momentum is known for blending cutting-edge design with traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship. The Revolving-Disk-System is one of the key distinguishing features of their timepieces. Instead using traditional hands or digital displays, the Revolving-Disk-System uses rotating disks to indicate the time. These disks show hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds. The disks rotate in a smooth, continuous manner clock-wise, and the time is read at 12 o’clock. Because of the unusual way time is displayed, the watch is often a conversation starter, with many people fascinated by its unique mechanism.
