Very cool idea to show the "astronaut's view" of earth and Ullyse Nardin has always made nice chronometer grade movements.

That said, I would make some changes in this model -- 1) rather than the two springs to indicate day and night coverage, I would have a rotating LED illuminated aperture so that it actually looked like the sunlight was moving over the globe, 2) the case would be watertight down to at least 200 meters, 3) I would lose that bizarre mix of Arabic and Roman numerals on the bezel and use either stylized Romans or dagger points, 4) I'd offer a matching platinum bracelet.

I know -- the watch would be thicker, much heavier and more expensive. But as Mom used to say, "Dreaming is free."

I like your proposed changes. They would definitely be cool. New changes require a new name. Instead of the J. Kepler, your new model would be called the Tellurium N. Bonaparte. < :D
