Hintz 2.0
A new version of Peren Hintz has emerged from the void to unveil its perennial state on a conventional timescale. The Peren Hintz 2.0 represents the revised version of Peren Hintz, updated due to development feasibility reasons.
The new Peren Hintz 2.0 features a rotating aluminium disk at 6H. The disk is the exact representation of the Solar Disk from the Transylvanian based Sarmizegetusa Regia site, converted from meters to millimeters.
The perennial timepiece is constructed to comply with the neo-vintage design code while incorporating elements of art-deco composition. The rotating disk at 6H is the main feature of the Watch as its rotation represents the extension of the perennial philosophy transmitted from generation to generation.
The disk is inspired by the Sun Dial or Andesite Sun from Sarmizegetusa Regia. Sarmizegetusa Regia (III-I BC) was the most important Dacian religious, military and politically center. On the plateau from Sarmizegetusa Regia (Transylvania) is the sacred zone, which contains several circular and rectangular sanctuaries and the Andesite Sun.
The Andesite Sun is, from many points of view (astronomic, geographic, mathematic, religious, cultural), the revealing symbol of this sacred place.
The complex solar sign was represented by two concentrically circles joined by means of ten solar rays. The arc of the circle has a symbolical sense, that could indicate periods when the solar cults took place, or when the Sun phenomena occurred (solar-cycle).
In the Dacian classical period the cult of the Sun has been proved specifically by the temple dedicated to the Sun, the Andesite Sun. Specialists who have studied this sanctuary had rightly considered that temple as being a cult site for worshiping the Sun, a star which played a decisive role in the life and activity of agriculturists, shepherds, manufacturers and even in the day-by-day life of people.
