Similarly, I'm now fascinated by the career of James Ferguson, a Scottish astronomer who published a volume of collected lectures in 1825 (title page, image 8). Is the math accurate on link his calculation showing "the mean time of any New or Full Moon, or Eclipse, from the link creation of the world to the year of Christ 5800"? Has anyone ever tried to build his surreal-looking link "universal dial" (image 9) which shows the time on different parts of the globe by the use of shadows only?

The case looks very similar to the 17 series case, but the 37.05, which Ming says is the first in an link ongoing series of watches link that will use a 37.xx case, is slightly different. Most notably, the dial opening is larger and the case uses domed crystals, front and back. Ming says link this increases the "visual presence" of the case (which I read as apparent diameter, among other things) but that it will keep the same basic dimensions as the 17 series case – 38mm maximum diameter, and 20mm lug width.
