Geocentric watch plays off planetary orbits to tell time

Well, here's another one for the "Hard To Read Watches I Still Oddly Want" file. Designer Geoffrey Cooper must be a fan of Tokyoflash, because his concept watch is both mesmerizing and confounding. It features two circles that are always in motion — the smallest one for seconds, the next ring for minutes, and the outside of the watch is for the hours.
From the designer:
A science and science fiction inspired watch that uses a motion similar to planets rotating around a sun. The rings of the watch are in constant motion, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The goal of this watch is to create a new form of telling time that will inspire and spark wonder in the viewer.
Based on the image above, we want to say it's about 6:20-ish? What do you think?
