The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Planisphere Watch: A Very Small Sky
By James Grahame
The Planisphere Watch displays constellations visible in the Northern Hemisphere (between 35 & 50 degrees latitude). It successfully blends my fascination with astronomy and horology into one simple device.
To use, turn the bezel so the current time is aligned with the date to determine which major constellations are visible. The watch features a 43mm diameter brass case with a crystal dome lens and rubber band with stainless steel links.
It is a guaranteed conversation starter, but I suspect that a standard rotating planisphere ($11) will prove far more useful in the long run, because a watch face is simply too small to show all but a handful of constellations.
