The Midnight Plan\u00e9tarium which showcased at <a title=\"Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sihh.org\/index.php?page=sihh-en\" target=\"_blank\">SIHH2014<\/a>, follows the celestial orbits of six planets, each represented by a gemstone, orbiting a rose gold sun. It is a feat of design: just as in reality, Mercury makes a full rotation in 3 months, and Saturn in 29.5 years. I am utterly dazzled by its beauty and exquisite craftsmanship!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good thing I can&#8217;t afford to\u00a0have this timepiece because I would covet it more than the dream of creating my own home some day and would become crazy with obsession over this possession. I don&#8217;t know why this is, it just is.
