Eris Planetary Sphere Watch by Karen Day

eris-1.jpg

Designed by students from l’Ecole d’Arts Appliqués Genèva, the Eris spherical watch from Pierre Junod is an homage to the solar system's dwarf planet of the same name.

The Swiss watch—with its white hour hand, orange minute hand and laser engraved figures— both functions as a timekeeper and as an attractive accessory for any desk or person. In fact, the watch comes with a strap and is ready to hang—the best way to show off the time floating around the equator of the the sphere.

The watch is available for purchase from Watchismo for $450.
