BREGUET MARINE HORA MUNDI

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.

 

Every year, Vortic Watch Co. releases a limited-edition batch of The Military Edition. Each of these unique pieces is a repurposed Hamilton 4992B pocket watch, originally created for B-17s and other bombers in World War II, bringing a sense of history and meaning to these fashionable conversation pieces for world navigators. The current collection comes with both brown leather and military green canvas bands to transition from formal to casual, and Vortic donates $500 per watch to the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative. $7,995.

ARCEAU LE TEMPS VOYAGEUR

The multi-award-winning Arceau le temps voyageur is for the constant time traveler whose heart is anchored at home. While the imaginary planet laser-engraved on the asymmetrical face inspires wanderlust, the floating satellite above traverses the map to the very real time zones you visit, prominently displaying your location and local time. A second dial more discreetly maintains your home time without interruption, grounding you in both realities simultaneously. Available in 38mm stainless steel in blue or 41mm platinum and titanium in black, the details are exquisite and the inspiration endless. $28,825 (black).
