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.

If I ran the world, I would definitely want to have one of these. However, Tellurium J. Kepler sounds more like a spam name.
I hadn’t thought about that, but I can see where you’re coming from concerning the name, I really can. lol.
It would be nice for someone to make a little web version or mac widget out of this face design…
Hi Ben,
A brilliant idea and I’d do it myself but my coding is not quite up to the standard required (unfortunately).
If I get a new job I’m up for I’ll rent a coder and get it done - and that’s a promise.
