Astronomical Watch Displays Our Solar System Orbiting the Sun

Van Cleef & Arpels in partnership with Dutch watchmaker Christian Van Der Klaauw, has developed innovative Midnight Planetarium watch design that permits you to wear a little piece of the Solar System on your wrist. The sophisticated concept replaces hands of a watch with six small planets orbiting around a central rose gold sun. The splendid unique device has an expensive price tag of $245,000 with semiprecious stones representing Mercury, Venue, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. All stones rotate separately and at the similar pace as the actual planets, like earth takes a full year to lap around the face of watch, while Venus requires 224 days and Mercury takes 88 days, Mars 687 days, Jupiter 12 years, and Saturn takes 29 years. A shooting star indicates minutes and hours and a "lucky day" feature permits the owners to choose a specific day of the year when the Earth will fall underneath the paint star on the face of the watch. The truly astonishing design is an elegant and captivating way to keep track of time without forgetting the larger universe around us.Source: Charismatic Planet

Vibrant Kaleidosopic Light Paintings Created in Camera



Neon whirls and electric sparks take over these exciting works of art inspired by Dr. Seuss, M.C. Escher, comic books and myriad geometric designs and patterns. It is spellbound by the magical results of a lengthy exposure and the manipulation of several light sources, photographer Jeremy Jackson (aka Tacky) works almost absolutely in light painting. He’s the resident of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and he makes kaleidoscopic light paintings. Since 2008, Jackson spends most of his time waving lights in front of his camera, shooting on 35mm film as well as digital. All of Jackson's elaborate, kaleidoscopic pictures are constructed in camera without the use of Photoshop, except for an occasional rotation or crop. For this method, light is the brush and the environment is the canvas determined by space and time. Jackson perceives infinite potential in this medium. He proclaims, "The techniques are infinite. The world is at your canvas. Anything you can visualize can be painted in a million different ways. Making his living from workshops on light painting, Jackson makes all his photos easily available for download because he believes that the art itself should be free to the public.
