Watches made from Spare Parts from Space
Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome claims to have made watches from moon dust, parts of the Apollo 11 rocket and bits of spacesuits. The watches’ dials, which feature tiny craters, will have dust in them from the moon rock that was taken from the first visit to the Earth’s satellite. Steel from the Apollo 11 space shuttle will be used for the case while the strap will use fibers from a spacesuit that was worn during the ISS mission. The group will make 1969 watches matching the year of Neil Armstrong’s and Buzz Aldrin’s first journey to the moon. The watches start at $15,000 and can cost as much as $500,000. Link
