The astroscope shows the days of the week in a way that has never been seen before: in relation to the celestial bodies that have been assigned to days since ancient times.
Ancient heritage
Especially the sun and the moon divide our time into day and night, that is, twelve months of the year, so that it can be felt and observed by all. However, the division into seven-day weeks does not follow an astronomical rhythm, but rather has a mythological background. Possibly it goes back to the Babylonians, who, like many other peoples of the world, regarded the number seven as extraordinarily holy and were associated with seven celestial bodies: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Just as most planets are named after Roman gods, most days of the week, both in German and English, have their corresponding names from Nordic mythology. The allocation of the weekdays to the celestial bodies has always remained the same throughout history:
Monday-Moon ☽
Tuesday-March ♂
Wednesday-Merkur ☿
Thursday-Jupiter ♃
Friday-Venus ♀
Saturday-Saturn ♄
Sunday-Sunday ☉
With the help of these celestial bodies and their historical symbols, Astroscope displays the days of the week, neither linear nor radial, but rather moving back and forth in a constellation that occurs only every ten to twelve years in the southern night sky of the northern hemisphere: Even in July 2020, all the celestial bodies of the weekday will be visible there at the same time, with the exception of the Sun of course. This formation is stylised by the astroscope on its dial; thus a bright dot appears in the moon symbol on Monday at about 12 o'clock and the next day on the right side of it in the symbol for Mars. It appears on Wednesday around 9 o'clock next to Mercury, on Thursday around 3 o'clock next to Jupiter ...
This is as amazing and yet as easy to understand as the display of time with only one hand. But because no MeisterSinger watch has ever had such a long and beautiful history as the astroscope, the watches come with a documentation brochure that explains the historical context in detail and also explains the wandering point of the day: In fact, it does not bounce back and forth, but rather a large weekday disc with many bright points moves one step forward under the dial every day: always all the way around, as is normal in our celestial mechanics.
A Swiss automatic movement moves the astroscope, which can be observed through the sixfold screwed glass viewing window. The steel case has a diameter of a slim 40 millimetres and is waterproof up to 5 bar.
