Apparently Matt Damon wore this at the Oscars. Six planets on the dial orbit the sun IN REAL TIME. To be clear, Saturn will go around the dial once every 29 YEARS. I find this mind-boggling.

 

What is it? That would be cool to keep on the winder!

 

Theres only 6 planets so you'll have to wait for the LE version to get Uranus on a watch dial. Still a little funny though.

 

Hodinkee did an article about this watch,and planetariums in general, a few years ago. Definitely amazing.

Considering service requirements several times in that time period, will it actually ever go around the dial one full revolution uninterrupted? I doubt it.

Oh, and someone will complain that Saturn is running fast by a few seconds per day, and ask if that's in spec. Mark my words!

 

The same could be said about the extra-sophisticated perpetual calendars that last however many hundreds of years without correction. Or the moonphases accurate to like... 100 years.

I always think the same thing when they say that kind of stuff.

 

One watch that really benefits from a video exposition:

 

It is extraordinary.
But glad it is an automatic.
Restarting those planetary orbits could get tricky.

 

its a new, improved and maintainance free saturn

 

All in all, it is a beautiful mechanical time piece. I really like the materials, colors and the overal design that they used for the face (dial, planets. etc).

 

What do you call a watch that is harder to attain than a grail watch?

 

Sehnsucht watch.
Here is my current candidate:

I know this is a stupid question here ....... but ........what's the price of one of these things

 

Funny I just saw it advertised today in an advertising supplement of a big newspaper. No price mentioned (not surprising though).

 

If you have to ask....
