For the Astronomy Fan: Astrodea Celestial Watch

The Astrodea Celestial Watch was designed by Hideo Uehara for watchmakers Citizen Japan. The Celestial Watch's blue star map rotates in real-time, accurately displaying 1,109 stars and 169 galaxies: 90% of what's visible from the Northern Hemisphere. It comes packaged with a 10x magnifying eyepiece and, thanks to its intense detail, the universe is on your wrist.

The Celestial line of watches tend to come out in an updated version each year — this year's being a little slimmer and lighter — and only a few hundred are made annually. They go for $600.
