You are right about it being a dream, IMHO, i'd rather spend that money on a scope that justifies that price rather than a watch.

Its reported selling at 750 000 Swiss francs which is 1.07067403 million Singapore dollars.

With that, with reference from Optcorp, I can buy the most expensive listed observatory, the most expensive refractor and the most expensive RC scope each with the most expensive CCD camera mounted on the most expensive mount and a complete sensible collection of Televue eyepieces.

And I still have plenty of change left.

IWC was not the first to launch a time piece design with Astronomy as a theme.
In fact many years ago, Ulysse Nardin design the Astrolabium Galileo Galilei

Azimuth, a Singapore funded company with movement from swiss, also have one of their models with spaceship themes too lol

But my favourite watch would be this Art piece from Jean Dunand
Orbital Tourbillion design is derived from IO of Jupiter.
