This "midnight planetarium watch' is encased in 18cr rose gold and has 2 sapphire crystals embedded in its face. |

It shows 6 of our solar system's planets revolving around the sun in real time. Each planet is represented with a precious stone - Aventurine, serpentine, chloromelanite, turqoise, red jasper, blue agate and sugilte. The sun itself is also of rose gold. |

What can I say, this is not a watch, it's a piece of art, and should be treated as such. |
