From the same people who bought you the Titanic watch, which is still backordered, Swiss watchmaker Romain Jerome has released the “Moon Dust-DNA” collection.
The collection of 1969 (the year of the first moon landing) timepieces includes watches made from moon dust, parts of the Apollo 11 rocket and bits of spacesuits. The watch dials feature tiny craters with dust in them from the moon rock, the case includes steel from the Apollo 11 space shuttle and the strap incorporates fibers from a spacesuit worn during the ISS mission.
