Blancier is a custom watchmaker. You can go to the site, pick out all the components, and get a handmade watch delivered to your door in a few weeks. I personally reviewed one and I loved it — they used Molnia movements and huge cases and have a neo-classical look that is just amazing. Well, they now have a few other “limited edition” pieces including this model, the Crazy Planet, with the hand drive gears hanging out on the face of the watch. Note: the speed at which this model is running is not quite accurate. I suspect they had an issue in the rendering. Regardless, take a look if you’re into mechanicals. No price or availability yet.
