That watch is pretty cool and the complications on it are amazing. Granted at that price I could never afford one, but would love to see one in person.

Like it for $2,450, not for $245,000.

I love these planetary watches, always dreamed of owning a celestial, if funds weren't an option why not. But $245k is crazy $$$, I imagine it will probably take a huge hit on the secondary market though.

You gotta love it that someone wanted to build something fun like this.
If I was a billionaire I would have this for sure.

No thanks. Not my cuppa, especially at that price point.

I like the fact that it's extremely unique but with a quarter of a million to spend on a watch I might end up with something else to be honest. Very cool though!

I think it looks awesome, but I might not be smart enough to read the time on this watch

As a professional navigator, it blows my skirt right up. But at that price? Nah

Typical cool from VC&A. Their daisy watch and the bird watch are awesome. Very cool complications. But very expensive and the secondary market makes it an expensive cost of ownership for the first owner.
