Will you wear this watch?? Costs € 569.00

“wn-2†is a watch developed under the concept of “Our view of the

Earth from space.†A small model of the Earth turns slowly making

one revolution, counterclockwise around the North Pole, every 24

hours under the glass dome.

From outer space, time is one. “wn-2†is the world time clock that

indicates the time of anywhere on the northern hemisphere. It is also

the “wearable Earth†that encourages you to apply planetary speed

to your body and sense true human rhythm.

The diameter of the Earth-hand is 1/580 millionth of the diameter of

the Earth. If you hold the watch at arm’ s length (about 65 cm

apart, the distance is equivalent to 380,000 km. So in effect, this is

the view of the Earth from the moon.

Why not take a little break and view the world from outer space.

Developed under the concept of "our view of the Earth from space."

From a conceptual point of view a great watch but it would be nice to see atomic clock incorporated in it with similar motion series as Spring Drive but then again I have way too much conceptual thinking on this subject... :)

I love meaningless advertising copy filler!

Now that is cool! Doubt I'd wear it much 'specialy since I'm in the wrong hemisphere but i'd love one for the collection.

There is also one made for the Southern Hemisphere called the WS-1. It just happens that the Northern Hemisphere model is quite more popular :)

Nice decoration, if you need a conversation piece this will be perfect. If they rep it, I'll buy it for 20 USD.

Cool for a conversation piece, but I wouldn't wear it daily.

Reminds me of the Vacheron Constatin series of complications (Mercator etc).

i find it pretty unique, if the price a bit lower i might buy it.

it reminds me of a child watch but in a more complicated style :D

Ive seen this one before and It is nice but rates off the scale in the "gimmicky" category.
