Specialist note
Introduced in 1992, the highly impressive and rare Ulysse Nardin Tellurium Johannes Kepler was the last of the three great watches in its Trilogy of Time. This complex timepiece features complications such as the relative position of the Earth in regards to the Moon and the Sun and the month. Incredibly, master craftsmanship is represented in the watch such as the Earth created from beautiful cloisonné enameling and the intricately hand-engraved gold movement and rotor. Its whimsical nature is furthered by the "mystery" hands that glide around the perimeter. This early example is designated as case number 05.
