The Helios watch by Frédéric Jouvenot recently nabbed the 2011 Geneva Time Exhibition Superwatch Award and when you check out the stunning attention to detail of its design, it's really not hard to see why.
Available in white, pink gold or Titanium DLC, the Helios watch by Frédéric Jouvenot draws its inspiration from the heliocentrism of civilizations from long ago. In this way, the watch is divided into 12 stylish "beams" which light up as daylight hours pass, and darken as the sun gives way to the moon.
