Gone are the days when dapper gentlemen pulled out shiny pocket watches to give a lady the time of day. The mod Eris Planetary Sphere Watch is today's answer to old-fashioned suave. Designed by students from l'Ecole d'Arts Appliqués Genève, this modern answer to the pocket watch is as much a work of art as it is a watch. The space-age look reflects Eris, the newly discovered dwarf planet in the solar system — and the ninth-largest body known to orbit the sun directly — for which this ultra-cool timepiece is named. Whether he uses the natural rubber strap to make it a new-fangled pocket watch or simply decorates the desk with it, this artful piece will please no matter how much time passes.
