From the storied inventor of the wristwatch itself, the Breguet Marine Hora Mundi brings the world to your wrist in brilliant detail while changing time zones with the simple push of a button. Satin-brushed continents with turquoise borders float on a sapphire ocean of engraved waves, while meridians above give the eye-popping illusion of a spherical globe resting on your wrist. Once Watchmaker to the Royal Navy of France under Louis XVIII, Breguet offers this piece in a white or rose gold case with a leather or rubber strap (a full gold bracelet strap is also available). $72,700.

CODE 11.59 BY AUDEMARS PIGUET STARWHEEL

There’s more than one way to display time, even in analog, and the Audemars Piguet Starwheel presents perhaps the most enchanting. Originally devised for a 17th-century pope, the Starwheel complication returns in the Code 11.59 collection, with black ceramic and white gold accents encasing an original universe of blue aventurine, waiting for discovery. If this beguiling piece doesn’t compel you to get out and explore the mysteries and magic of the planet in style, it’s safe to say none will. $57,900.
