Showcasing the beauty of astronomy and hand finishing
Felipe's biggest passion and source of inspiration, besides the technical aspects of watchmaking, lies in the crossover it creates with other scientific subjects, particularly astronomy. After setting his goal to develop and build a handmade 3D moon complication, Felipe stumbled upon the idea for the Sternenhimmel along the way. It is a simpler watch, astronomically inspired and finished to high standards. The Sternenhimmel was first launched in 2021, marking a significant step forward for the entire FP collection and setting the foundation for upcoming astronomical complications, including the 3D moon phase.
