But what truly sets this wrist bound bijoux apart is the dial.  It is of meteorite.  Perhaps the most challenging material around for dial makers to contend with, this meteorite dial is truly spectacular and fitting for such a special time keeper.

Special Sale Event from Angular Momentum!

Okay - this is something special that I asked Angular Momentum if I could share -

As you may know, every year Angular Momentum makes a few pieces available at discounted rates.   Ordinarily this is strictly a "Friends and Family" type of thing, but as a favor to Tempus Fugit readers, these watches can be purchased by you as well.  To that end, I will be listing these separately, pretty much one every 2 hours (with an 8 hour sleep break this evening!).
