The composition intended by the creator renders a perfect balance which is required for this asymmetrical dial. The result is the most beautiful effect enhanced by the precise drawing and an impeccable cutting obtained thanks to the fine precision of the laser cutting process.
The signs of the zodiac, also known as astrological signs, have an ancient origin dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, more precisely to the Babylonians around the 5th century B.C. These ancient astronomers observed the movements of the planets and the Sun through the constellations of the zodiac, thus creating the first astrological divisions. The 12 signs of the zodiac are associated with the constellations that cross the plane of the ecliptic. Each sign corresponds to a specific period of the year, usually around one month, and is linked to astrological characteristics, personalities and predictions. The signs of the zodiac are classified into four elements: fire, earth, air and water, each with its own associated traits and attributes. Western astrology, as we know it today, was influenced by ancient Greece, which added mythological elements to the zodiac signs. For example, the sign Aries is associated with the Greek god Ares, the god of war. This mythological approach was passed on to ancient Rome and eventually evolved into the basis of modern astrology. Despite its ancient roots, astrology continues to hold a fascination for many people around the world, although its scientific validity is widely questioned. The signs of the zodiac have become a culturally significant element of contemporary society, influencing popular psychology, fashion, literature and even the daily horoscope. However, it's essential to remember that astrology is mainly regarded as a personal belief and has no solid scientific foundation.
