I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a men's watch or a woman's watch - it's quite large at 44 mm across - but I would wear it either way! The Midnight Planetarium watch is part of Van Cleef and Arpels Poetic Complications line. Not only does this watch tell the time (via the shooting star moving around a 24 hour clock), but it gives you the exact position in real time of the six planets visible from Earth in relation to the sun. It also tells you the date and lets you pick a lucky day of the year, which will be highlighted when the stone representing the Earth moves within the star icon on the face.
I love this! It's so whimsical and gorgeous. However, unlikely ever to be within my price range, given that the base model is $245,000. One can dream, however!

Watch the promotional video from the Van Cleef and Arpels website above. It reminds me of Cirque du Soleil!
