Tempus Terrae
A new landmark
The Tempus Terrae is a modernist tribute to Louis Cottier, inventor of the worldtimer, reinterpreting the dual crown concept he introduced in the 1950s. Its central dial of guilloché-engraved 21-carat BlueGold pairs with distinctive A-shaped hands, while the sleek, angular case – featuring faceted 'broken' lugs, sloping bezel, and discreet Hunter caseback – creates a refined, streamlined beauty enhanced by immaculate hand-polishing. At just 9mm in height, the case achieves a remarkably slim profile, with the dual crown configuration serving as both functional necessity and design homage. Beneath the Hunter caseback, the oscillating weight is also made from guilloche engraved BlueGold.
EnquireSeveral aspects of the Tempus Terrae can be customised for bespoke commissions, including guilloche patterns, caseback engravings and city ring configurations.
Launched in 2015 with variants in yellow, rose, and white gold limited to 25 pieces each, the Tempus Terrae has evolved through distinctive editions. The Diamond-Set edition features 36 baguette diamonds set invisibly on the bezel, while the Gemstone Bezel Editions introduce aquamarine and blue sapphire variants with 36 perfectly cut baguette stones.
Handcrafted in our Geneva atelier and our La Chaux-de-Fonds casemaking workshop, the Tempus Terrae is also available as a bespoke commission, with customisable aspects including dial guilloché patterns, city ring configurations, and personalized caseback engravings.
