The UNIVERSUM MECHANICAL collection was recognized with a Silver award at the NY Product Design Awards, an international design competition in New York.
The HVILINA UNIVERSUM collection is inspired by the romanticism of space travel and is dedicated to the perseverance and incredible ingenuity of man in the search for truth. We tried to reflect the transition in the vision of ancient astronomers and philosophers to the modern achievements of cosmonautics and astronomy, showing how much the understanding of the structure of the world around us has changed.

Geocentrism was taken as the basis of the concept, reflecting the idea of the ancients about the Universe. This theory was widespread in antiquity and said that in the center of the Universe is the planet Earth, objects of the solar system, including the Sun, revolve around it, and behind the solar system there is a "sphere of fixed stars" - all the other luminaries that a person could observe in the starry sky. This theory was the basis of ancient and medieval astronomy and cosmology.
One of the earliest extant images of a star map representing the geocentric system of the world is a manuscript dating from the 9th century.
It depicts the planet Earth in the center, then the objects of the solar system known at that time are located (note that the Sun is located on the map in the middle between Venus and Mars).
The stylization of this map was reflected in the design of the dial on its left side, being a symbol of the image of the space at that time.
On the right side of the dial, the same celestial bodies are displayed as on the ancient stellar map, but in the correct sequence of their location in the solar system, thereby symbolizing today's understanding of the structure of the Universe as a whole.
All inscriptions on the left side of the dial are made in Latin in accordance with the ancient source. In contrast, on the right side, English is used, which is the modern incarnation of Latin. Thus, a symbolic transition from one era to another was displayed.
On the outer ring of the dial there are stylized constellations. The back cover is engraved with the name of the collection, technical specifications and model number. The series is a limited edition. A total of 365 pieces in each color will be produced.
