About Time
SPACE, AS CAPTAINS Kirk and Picard have told us ad nauseam, is the final frontier. Turns out that holds for timepieces, too. Fine watch maker Jaquet Droz has lately been attracting eyes with its subtle use of exotic materials like meteorite on the dial, as seen in this self-winding Chrono Monopoussoir Meteorite ($31,200, jaquetdroz.com) in white gold with an alligator strap. It displays minutes and seconds, has a chronograph function and, at 43 millimeters across, is a truly heavenly piece. Now boldly go tell time where no man has told time before.
