A new limited-edition watch collection does three things at once: it chimes on command, it sets gemstones into its case, and it tracks the movement of the night sky across its dial. That kind of range — sound, sparkle, and astronomy — is rare enough in one release that serious collectors on both coasts are taking notice. In this stretch of Florida, where a well-chosen watch collection is treated with the same seriousness as a well-chosen boat, three complications in a single line is the sort of thing that gets talked about at lunch, not just at auction.

With reporting from Robb Report.
