Folks: it's drop-dead gorgeous!

I immediately decided to acquire one.

Then I saw the price of its *much* cheaper, simpler, less-fun, no 'whirling planets' sibling timepiece.

140,000 Euros

I'll get my hat.....

Kevin you can always get a nice app from Emerald Sequoia LLC (search iTunes) if you're on an Apple device, I've got a few of their apps.
Some examples from them below:

Emerald Geneva (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/emerald-geneva/id347828665?mt=8)

Emerald Observatory for iPad (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/emerald-observatory-for-ipad/id364904759?mt=8)

Emerald Chronometer (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/emerald-chronometer/id284953670?mt=8)

Probably works out cheaper than having astrophotography as a hobby.
