In addition to telling time by way of a shooting star that rotates along the outmost area of the face, the watch more prominently features an accurate rotation and representation of the Earth and the five other planets visible from here around the sun – Mercury in 88 days, Venus in 224, Earth in a year, Mars in 687 days, Jupiter in 12 years and Saturn in 29.

[O]ne of the features is the ability to set any of the 365 days in the year as a “lucky star”, an additional element in this magical cosmos. When your day arrives the lucky star is located just above the Earth on the dial.

[E]ach of the planets are represented by precious and semi-precious stones, ranging from red jasper to serpentine and turquoise. An even more extravagant edition is available with baguette-cut diamonds set into the bezel.

Want one? The listed price is $333,000. One of that rare class of watch that requires its own personal armed guard.
