The model in detail

Two different rhythms meet on the Spacegraf dial: an exposed flying tourbillon below and a slowly rotating celestial disc above. The latter follows a sidereal day of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds, the Earth’s rotation period relative to the stars. YEMA links the design to the Besançon Observatory and the tradition of checking watches through astronomical observation.

The hand-wound CMM.32 provides 105 hours of power reserve. Its Grade 5 titanium case measures 42mm across and 12.15mm thick, with 100m water resistance. The US website lists $16,000; production is limited to 150 numbered watches, with shipping promised for December 2026. The celestial disc glows in the dark alongside the hands and markers.
