To commemorate the Macau handover in December, Swiss Watchmakers Vacheron Constantin have created eight pairs of watches called Macau Mercators, valued at $830,000 a pair.

They were unveiled at a lunch at the Macau Military Club. The watch features an enamel dial with a 16th century map of Macau, taken from the work of Gerardus Mercator, the father of modern cartography.
