RICHARD LANGE ETERNAL CALENDAR "Terraluna" and her mythical ancestor

3600 years lie between the heavenly disc of Nebra and the RICHARD LANGE EWIGER CALENDAR "Terraluna". But the oldest realistic image of post-heaven, and the actual representation of the constellation of earth, moon, and sun, unites the eternal striving to reproduce the course of the stars as precisely as possible.

The RICHARD LANGE EWIGER CALENDAR "Terraluna" is one of the most interesting novelties of the watch year 2014. The extraordinary timepiece is exciting on both sides: the historically inspired Regulatordifferblatt with eternal calendrium and the characteristic big date, at the back a planetarium for the wrist with orbital moonphase display . The astronomical miniature shows not only the ascending and descending moon, but also the constellation of earth, moon and sun by means of three rotating discs. The mechanism is designed so precisely that it must be corrected by one day after 1058 years.

A special view is the deep blue sky of solid gold, on which exactly 2116 stars shine. Significantly more than on the famous Nebra sky, which was not found 200 kilometers from Glashütte some 15 years ago. Their discovery was a sensation. For the disc that was formed in Central Europe about 3600 years ago is by far the oldest realistic representation of heaven. With her enigmatic motifs, she leads to the roots of our chronology and its derivation from the cycles of the sun, moon and stars.

Few applications of gold were enough for the unknown creators of the heavenly disc to bundle the astronomical knowledge of their time with unexpected precision on a bronze plate of 32 centimeters in diameter. The focus is a full moon and a crescent surrounded by 32 stars. Between the two moons, a star cluster of seven points symbolizes the Pleiads. Their decline in the evening sky in March and their rise in the morning sky in October mark the dates of sowing and harvest, the most important dates in the rural calendar. Another calendar function has the horizon curves at the margins. When the disk was correctly positioned at its site, on the Mittelberg near Nebra, and with it the sunset at 85 km distant Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz, was targeted,

The knowledge preserved in it makes the heavenly disc of Nebra a milestone in the history of mankind. Impressively, she bears witness to the first attempts to understand and record the course of the stars. In the RICHARD LANGE EWIGER CALENDAR "Terraluna", the astronomical findings and the artisanal mastery of today are combined into a watchmaking art work that accurately reproduces the course and the constellation of the moon for the next thousand years and whose calendar has been precisely programmed until the year 2100 . It shows the effort to get to the bottom of things in order to make new discoveries from the knowledge gained. In it the watchmakers of A. Lange & Söhne are the first astronomers in the world in no way.
