Planisphere Watch

Say what?

What's a planisphere?

Oh.

When I first saw this watch I thought it was one of those multifunction tourbillon jobs, with three grand complications and a price tag in the mid-five figures.

So I was kind of surprised to see it costs $59.

From the website:

    Planisphere Watch

    This watch boasts a planisphere (starfinder) for the Northern Hemisphere that shows which stars are overhead at a given date and hour.

    Dial glows for several hours after exposure to light.

    Fits wrists up to 8-1/2" diameter.

    Silver oxide battery included.

    1-1/4" diameter face.

So even if you work nights and never get outside to see the stars, you can at least find out what's playing on the big screen.

$59.

Just fyi, I was looking for a women's version and found the Planisphere Watch at Think Geek for $49.
