Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Calendar Orbit Watch

The Ulysse Nardin Tellurium J. Kepler wrist watch, apart from having one of the most convoluted names we’ve come across in quite a while is billed as a revolutionary timepiece that ‘rotates the Earth in its true geographical shape seen from above the North Pole.’

The watch, which is strictly limited to a run of 99 units, works by using a flexible spring to display which part of the Earth is lit by the Sun with an additional ‘dragon hand’ indicating eclipses of the Sun and the Moon and it all sees terribly complicated.

For those into matters celestial we don’t doubt that this Ulysse Nardin will hold some appeal but, for the majority of us it’s probably of little practical use though there’s no doubting that it is sure to draw more than its fair share of second glances.

The self-winding watch comes with a 43mm diameter dial, Platinum case and is water resistant to a depth 30 meters and will set you back an astounding $118,000.
