Designed by Richard Hermle of the famous German clock-making family, it is an exacting reproduction of the beautiful 18th-century heaven machine built by the famous clockmaker Philipp Matthaus Hahn (17391790). Known to antiquity as a telurium, the astrolabium is mounted on a lacquered solid cherry base with a mouth-blown crystal dome. The miniature earth is made of a combination of four semi-precious stones, including abalone, green agate, jade, and mother of pearl, cut in detail to depict continents and oceans.

All this for just *cough* $1500.00..

The Von Dutch DUTCHMAN dual time zone chronograph is destined to redefine the way you look at time, this watch epitomizes the classic power of hard-edged elegance.

Curving stainless steel exhaust pipes frame two sunray dials, providing structure and dimension. The first time zone is all business with gothic numbers, mesh-grilled center in black sunray and chronograph with minutes, 30 minutes, 12 hours and date. The second dial is about individuality and style, rotating to reveal either the second time zone in silver sunray or a black diamond inlaid skull.

Featuring a vintage hand stitched leather band, twin quartz transmission, dual engine Swiss ETA movement, sapphire crystal windshield and waterproof to 5 ATM. The DUTCHMAN makes it possible to be in two different times at one place. Not for the faint of heart, this watch is designed for those who are serious about demanding more from their time.

“Movado is very proud of our association with Tom Brady,” says Jeff Cohen, president of Movado Worldwide. “He is one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the NFL and embodies everything that Movado Series 800 stands for: timing, innovation and a commitment to excellence.”

“Movado is all about style and precision and that fits exactly what I try to bring both on and off the field, so I hope it’s a long term association,” Tom Brady said. “A professional athlete’s life is highly scheduled. I practically need military discipline to keep pace, so time is definitely something I’m interested in.”

“I’d had a pretty normal day, I hadn’t found much. I was walking along a footpath and I’d kept my metal detector on – I always worry I’ll miss something if I switch it off and then it suddenly started bleeping,” the 44-year-old said.

“I dug down and discovered this small metal disc covered in mud and when I brushed the mud off I saw some inscriptions, which looked a bit strange but I put it in my bag and left it. The next time I was getting ready to go out metal detecting it fell out of my bag and I decided to wash it properly and that’s when I started to become really intrigued. It was bronze and had a wonderful patina and I knew that meant it had some age to it.

“The mystery of it as good as the finding of it. It is Harry Potter material. The workmanship is incredible. I’m now in my forties and I’ve been metal detecting since I was about 8 or 9 and I have never found an object which is so intriguing.”

Dated to late 14th century the disc up for auction at auction house Bonhams which is estimating the value of the usual object, which is included in their East Anglian View sale on October 25, will sell for £3,000 – £5,000.

James Glennie, from Bonhams’ Norfolk office, said: “This is a very unusual find and it even seems to have perplexed the experts. The Norfolk gentleman who discovered it brought it into us after hearing about another rare early medieval scientific instrument which Bonhams also sold this year.”

It will be on view at the Assembly House on October 23.
