# $118,000 Watch Only 99 Special Edition Keplers Made By Trend Huntress | Published 2007-08-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/118000-for-a-watch-it-better-tell-time-iand-i-end-global-warming References: [nexus404](http://nexus404.com/Blog/2007/08/15/ulysse-nardin-perpetual-calendar-orbit-watch/) The Ulysse Nardin Tellurium J. Kepler [wrist watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp10-tourbillon) (what a mouthful), "rotates the Earth in its true geographical shape seen from above the North Pole." It's got all kinds of bells and whistles like a [sapphire crystal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-defy-zero-g) and a platinum case, and it winds itself. Only 99 have been made, I assume because no more than 99 people in the world are willing to fork over $118 grand for a watch. **Implications** - There is a specific group of consumers who relish in having access to [exclusive and one-of-a-kind products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phillips-decade-one). These consumers likely have disposable income and are willing to invest large sums of money if it means they possess high-end items. Businesses that offer products with elitist status will see favorable results in today's society. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Exclusive Luxury Products:** Cater to the niche market of consumers who are willing to invest in high-end products with elitist status. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** Offer limited edition versions of products to appeal to consumers who relish in owning one-of-a-kind items. - **Mechanical Watch Technology:** Develop innovative mechanical watch technology to appeal to high-end consumers willing to pay for advanced features and craftsmanship. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Watches:** The luxury watch industry can tap into consumers looking for high-end, exclusive timepieces. - **Fine Jewelry Industry:** Fine jewelry makers can collaborate with high-end watch manufacturers to create limited edition watch and jewelry sets. - **Luxury Consumer Goods:** Luxury consumer goods brands can invest in developing exclusive products to cater to niche markets of high-end consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md) - [Opulent Avian-Accented Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credor-goldfeather-tourbillon-gbcf999.md) - [Bioluminescent Oceanic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-defy-extreme-diver-topper-edition.md) - [Space-Inspired Titanium Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceone-tellurium.md) - [Luxury Monochromatic Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/defy-skyline-skeleton.md) - [Collaborative Intricate Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lvkv02-gmr-6.md) - [Luxury Solar System Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bejeweled-solar-system-set.md) - [Robotically Accented Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/czapek-antarctique-rattrapante-rur.md) - [Mesmerizing Fashion House Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-escale.md)
