This book details the history, the creation, and understanding and interpreting the operation of complications in the three wristwatches of the Trilogy of Time. A technical description based on scientific principals at work in our solar system. The Astrolabium Galileo Galilei has 21 distinct functions displaying local and solar time, the orbits and eclipses of the sun and the moon and the position of several major stars. The three watches in The Trilogy of Time were issued in a limited edition of 100 and are now rare and very expensive. This book explains their complications and is quite scarce in its own right.
