Perhaps this is an old news - Jupiterium was announced at SIHH 2010, but it finally came to Tokyo (June 7 - 12).  Here is the report for those who missed it when it came near you and those who are in the area + some 2013 Novelties were also presented.


The venue - In Roppongi Hills, where I live relatively close but not familiar with inside, thus naturally I got lost for 15 minutes.  Normally this is a cafe.


Jupiterium...

How it works:

"Panerai Jupiterium" is the astronomical clock equipped with a perpetual calendar function. This device, in addition to the positions of the sun, the moon, Jupiter, as seen from the Earth, shows the positions of the Stars of the Medici family, i.e. the biggest satellites of Jupiter - Io Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, observed by the very first telescope made by Galileo in 1610.

"Panerai Jupiterium" centers the Earth and around which other celestial bodies revolve inside the blue sphere.  The mechanism is contained in the box of glass on the wooden base - 86cm height 75cm in width, and the base part contains the complex gear trains which drives the perpetual calendar clock and the planetarium above it......
