Terranaut II

The Terranaut II takes us back to an age when flying was still a real adventure. At that time a face design for pilots’ watches arose in which the hour and minute displays were divided into two different scales completely separate from each other. By restricting the hour display to a noticeably smaller inner circle, it was possible to focus one’s attention on the minutes and seconds which are so important in navigation.

In our “observation watch” we have given this design principle a typical Mühle look. We have achieved this by using a combination of two-color minute numerals, hands with increased contrast and very clearly delineated scales for the minutes and hours. The instrumental design is complemented by the precision typical of our nautical instruments. The Terranaut II thus also spans the gap between nautical science and aeronautics – between which there are a lot of similarities as far as time measurement is concerned, and not only in name.
