Architectural Tribute on a Miniature Scale

At the heart of the Graff GyroGraff Temple of Heaven Tourbillon Three-Dimensional Moon Phase Watch lies a miniature
three-dimensional sculptural version of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.
Set against an aventurine stone “night sky” dial, the structure is fully hand-carved in gold and micro-painted in imperial tones.
Rectangular-cut diamonds illuminate the walls like lanterns under a moonlit sky.

Every railing, stair and column is shaped by hand, giving the dial extraordinary depth and realism.
Graff artisans reportedly spend over 100 hours per dial to achieve this architectural miniature masterpiece.

Diamond-Set GyroGraff Case

The Graff GyroGraff Temple of Heaven Tourbillon Three-Dimensional Moon Phase Watch is housed in a bold
48mm 18K rose gold case, fully set with hexagonal and triangular diamonds in a mosaic pattern —
a visual signature of the GyroGraff collection.

The multi-faceted case architecture enhances its sculptural presence, while the 17.25 mm thickness provides
space for the intricate three-dimensional dial and complex movement within.

Tourbillon & Three-Dimensional Moon Phase

The dial features an off-center time display with skeletonized triangular hands,
ensuring maximum visibility of the miniature architecture below.
At 7 o’clock, the biaxial tourbillon rotates dynamically, showcasing Graff’s high mechanical mastery.

The three-dimensional moon phase at 10 o’clock features a rotating platinum sphere engraved with realistic moon craters.
This creates a visual dialogue between celestial movement and the Temple of Heaven below,
symbolizing harmony between Heaven and Earth in traditional Chinese philosophy.
