Established in 2020, during the midst of the pandemic, Geneva Watch Days brings together brands, collectors and key industry figures in a multi-day celebration of watchmaking.

It looked like a ship's wheel, a kitschy bit of decor you might see at a nautically themed bar. But he was drawn to it because of its maker. Timepieces from Chelsea Clock Co. were renowned for their design and precision. The company's clocks could once be found on Navy battleships during World War II, and adorned mantels, walls and desks at the White House for presidents ranging from Dwight Eisenhower to Joe Biden.

Modern watchmaking has maintained this connection through various complications: moonphase displays track lunar cycles, GMT functions acknowledge our planet's rotation, and some haute horlogerie pieces even show planetary positions. The Boldr Polaris Moonstone Limited Edition takes a different approach entirely, putting actual constellation navigation directly on your wrist rather than simply displaying astronomical data. Forget smartwatches with GPS, this one presents you with the most foolproof analog tool to help you locate the true north.
