Astronomical watch – a watch shaped like a dwarf planet

Designer Pierre Junod has designed a unique watch, that comes in shape of a planet. And it’s called the Astronomical watch, named after the largest known dwarf planet in our solar system.

A watch in a spherical shape shouldn’t be wearable on your wrist. So, it’s meant for hanging around your neck as it comes with a neck strap or it can be hung on your home wall or used as a pocket watch. As shown in the picture, this planetary watch has the minute and hour hands floating through the equator of the globe.

Eris spherical watch
Telling time is far different from other watches, you need to pay attention to the orange top pointer which indicates the minutes, and the lower white pointer that shows the hours.

This spherical watch is constructed from a dramatic anthracite anodized aluminum case, complete with a curved mineral glass crystal to protect the hands. The watch uses battery-powered Swiss quartz movement to keep time accurate.
