Ptolemaic Watch - The Geocentric Solar System Watch

Wear the center of the universe on your wrist.

Just because a theory has been disproven doesn’t mean we can't enjoy it. On the Ptolemaic Watch, the Earth is rightfully back at the center of everything. The Sun sits on the minute hand, and the Moon is on the hour hand, orbiting a fixed Earth just as Claudius Ptolemy intended in the 2nd century AD.

(Shhh... do not speak of Copernicus around this watch.)

Show your appreciation for the "beautiful dream" of ancient mechanics. The face depicts the classical order of the planets and the sun orbiting the Earth—a model that ruled astronomy for over a millennium.

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:

We like to laugh at the Geocentric model now, but we forget that Ptolemy's math was actually incredible. It was accurate enough to predict planet positions for 1,400 years! It took a brave mind like Copernicus to finally say, "The math works, but the premise is wrong."

I wear this watch as a reminder that science is a process, not just a list of facts. Even our best theories might be overturned someday—though I'm pretty sure the Earth still goes around the Sun.
