## Overview

The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Ptolemaic Universe Model Watch features a 33mm analog face with the sun on the minute hand and the moon on the hour hand, celebrating the geocentric model.

Battery included and packaged in a collectible tin case, this watch blends quirky historical homage with everyday wearable art.

## Description

Just because a theory has been disproven doesn't mean we can't cling to it with both hands. On the Ptolameic Watch, the sun is on the minute hand and the moon is on the hour hand and we are the center of the solar system once again. (Shhhhhhhh. Let us not speak of Copernicus.) Show your irrational love for the great Egyptian astrologer's beautiful dream of heavenly mechanics with UPG's beautiful watch depicting all of the planets and the sun orbiting the Earth. Although Ptolemy lived many years before the metric system, we made the watch face 33mm in diameter. Nickel-free zinc alloy case. Leather band. Not waterproof. Comes with a one-year warranty â - that's a mere 20 minutes less than an entire solar year!

Review: I think for its price as well as its quality and design, I really don't have a problem with it. It's quirky enough to make me chuckle but not quite exact enough to cook with. So it's like a nice showpiece

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Yes in one of the pictures it shows the watch with a Blue Bezel is that available or do you have one with a silver bezel thank you**
A: The strap on this watch has blue stitching. We are not able to alter the strap. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

**Q: How do you set it up?**
A: Hello JudahThank you for your question.Despite the fancy look this is still a normal watch. The hour hand is the white moon; the minute hand is the orange and yellow sun; and the second hand is a clear disc.The second hand disc has yellow stars on the outer diameter and a yellow and orange sun-burst around the centre. The whole disc turns. The actual seconds are counted by the line (pointing to `9' in the images) of astrological symbols (these are also printed onto the clear disc).To set the watch, pull out the crown on the lower right hand side and turn it to the correct time.I hope this helps.Best WishesPinkCatShop

**Q: What is the width of the strap for replacement?**
A: The band on this watch measures about 1.75 inches wide. Please let us know if we can help with anything else!

**Q: Is it water resistant?**
A: I gave mine away as a gift but an online source that also sells the watch claims that it is.

My girlfriend is studying astronomy and that can be a kind of hard to buy for market:) Shoe loves the watch, story behind it and especially the second hand movement. Hopefully it holds up better then some of the reviews here have mentioned. Ill update in 6 months or so.
