Introduced in 2014, the Sky Moon Tourbillon 6002 is the successor to the iconic 5002.As regards the movement, the new Ref. 6002 is largely identical with its predecessor. It possesses aminute repeater with two cathedral gongs and a tourbillon; on the front dial, it indicates standard timeand features a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date and a moon-phase display. The rear dial setsthe stage for astronomical functions: it shows the northern sky, sidereal time, and the angularprogression and phases of the moon. Unlike the Ref. 5002, it indicates the moon phases instead of themoon age and features apertures instead of hands for the day of the week, month, and leap yeardisplays.The totally new aspect of the Sky Moon Tourbillon Ref. 6002 is its appearance, with lavish decorationsthat elevate it to the status of a grand creation. To refer to a case or a dial is almost a sacrilege in thecontext of the Ref. 6002. Sculpture would be the more fitting term for a genuine work of art like the SkyMoon Tourbillon. In particular, it showcases two artisanal skills: the art of the engraver and that of theenameler. Since the advent of Geneva’s watchmaking heritage in the late 16th century, both of thesecrafts have been inseparably allied with watchmaking.
