With Christmas Just 11 Months Away,

it might be a good time to look for presents,

before the rush, so here is one you might like to buy for a loved one, it is the Midnight Planétarium, a spectacularly innovative watch design that allows you to wear a little piece of the Solar System on your wrist, developed by Van Cleef & Arpels in partnership with Dutch watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw, the intricate concept replaces hands of a watch with six tiny planets orbiting around a central rose gold Sun,

the watch contains 396 separate parts and features the six closest planets accurately orbiting the sun, why were Uranus and Neptune not included I hear you ask, because you would hardly see them ever move as Uranus takes over 84 years to make a single rotation of the sun while Neptune takes an astonishing 164 years!

as for the planets that are featured, they will make a full rotation on the watch as follows:

Mercury: every 88 days
Venus: every 224 days
Earth: every 365 days
Mars: every 687 days
Jupiter: every 12 years
Saturn: every 29 years

each of the planets are represented by precious and semi-precious stones, ranging from red jasper to serpentine and turquoise, there is also a ‘lucky day’ feature that uses the bezel to allow owners to select any day of the year as your ‘lucky day’ and the Earth will fall underneath the painted star on the watch’s crystal on that day every year, so start saving now and when you get to $245,000 it will be yours!
