The Apolar offers an unorthodox view of time, telling the time is inspired by the relationship between the Earth and the Moon.
Powered by a Swiss-made ETA2824-2 automatic movement with special polished decorations, the Apolar features an additional mechanical module – designed, developed and built in-house – installed for a unique time display as well as a movement of the Moon's trajectory relative to the rotating Earth.
The globe on the dial rotates once every 24 hours (day/night indicator) while the annular track drives the micro moon to orbit the globe once every 28 days, a system that provides a demonstration function of the celestial movement of our home planet and the moon (27.32 days). Unlike the traditional method of telling time through the use of hour and minute hands, Behrens adopted 2 discs and a decentralized system located at the bottom of the dial (left and right) to represent the time in hours and minutes respectively. A small second hand is located in the center.
The "Apolar" men's timepiece with its unique design (officially nominated for the GPHG 2020) offers a new aspect of reading the time and could set a milestone in the concept of watch design.
