If there was ever a timepiece that would silence the boasts of smug smartwatch wearers, then this would be it. The magnificent Complication Poétique Midnight Planétarium lets you tell the time by placing a microcosm of the solar system on your wrist. The intricate watch incorporates Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn — all the planets visible to the naked eye.

I want one. I wonder how much it would cost if one used cheaper materials instead of gems?

What about Uranus? Somebody told me you could see it with a mirror ....

Strictly speaking, that's an orrery, not a planetarium.

I buy my clock bracelets at Wal-Mart.

“I want one. I wonder how much it would cost if one used cheaper materials instead of gems? “

People buy things like tis because they cost a lot. They do it for attention and to feel exclusive and superior. It’s probably a substitute for 9” (Or, in this case 14”) of manhood or, as the case may be, a 36Dcup (or, in this case a 44E.)

I thought “Clock Bracelets” were out of fashion.

You can probably get it as a 99¢ app...

For an extra $95,000 they’ll add a tiny navigator using a sextant.
