Martin Luther Automatic Watch steel-bronze

Description

MARTIN LUTHER – EVANGELIUM

Watch series for 500 years of the Reformation. To mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Kronsegler GmbH has developed the MARTIN LUTHER – EVANGELIUM watch series. The new feature of the watch is a mechanical display for the 7 days of the creation story. This display visualizes the corresponding days of creation* in words and symbols at the same time as the days of the week Monday – Sunday. Following the development of a prayer time display for the Vatican Observatories, this is the second Christian-based display function in a watch manufactured by Kronsegler GmbH.

The case has a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 11.6 mm at the edge of the glass. At the highest point of the curved glass, the thickness is 12 mm. The curvature merges directly into the bezel curvature, which creates a flat impression. The cases are made in three parts from 316L stainless steel and, depending on the model, are yellow gold or rose gold IPG and genuine gold-plated.

The dials have a partial sunray finish and are visually divided into 4 fan-shaped segments. Three large Roman indices are applied, the other hour markers are printed. There is a modified numerical date at 6 o’clock. At the 12 o’clock position, the day of the week and the corresponding day of creation are displayed in a large section of the dial. The clear watch glasses are made of K1 crystal. The glass of the “Bronze” model is 50% brown-colored mineral glass with diamond film hardening (DFC). The hands are diamond-cut and mounted and, depending on the model, gold-plated or burnished. The movement is a CITIZEN base movement with 21,600 A/h on 21 jewels, which displays the date and the day of the week/day of creation with modified disks. The power reserve when fully wound is 38 – 46 hours. The straps are made of padded cowhide with alligator embossing and a coat-of-arms button in various colors. Depending on the model, the folding clasps are steel, gold-plated or rose gold-plated with safety pushers and an engraved logo.

*Particularly in the later years of his life, around 20 years after the posting of the theses in Wittenberg and the translation of the Bible into German, Martin Luther lectured almost exclusively on the content of the creation story.
