Destination Moon Is the Clock Aspiring Astronauts Have Always Wanted

Many of us grew up wanting to be an astronaut at some point. While that distinction remains reserved for a select few, private endeavors like SpaceX have given us mere mortals hope of exploring the last frontier. And for those of you who know what we’re talking about, Destination Moon should be in your radar.

This uber special clock is the creation of MB&F in collaboration with L’Epée 1839, the former being known for the most unique timepieces, the latter an engineering powerhouse. If you’re looking for seriously wacky clock, MB&F has got your back.

If space is what your heart is yearning for, though, nothing but Destination Moon will stop that itch. Take another look at this baby.

Don’t you just love the touch of red? This version uses anodized aluminum for the landing pods.

There are other landing pod colors – blue, green, and black. These are made from palladium-plated brass with PVD coating.

The Destination Moon clock stays true to the basic engineering on a real spaceship! How cool is that?

Power in a rocket comes from its base and the power for Destination Moon comes from the oversized winding crown in its base. The control systems of a rocket are above the power source and the same holds true for Destination Moon, which has a vertical regulator underneath the time display, as well as a time-setting knob at the top of the movement. That regulator with its animated balance is protected from cosmic radiation (and curious fingers) by a small panel of virtually invisible mineral glass. Hours and minutes are displayed by large, white numerals on stainless steel disks.

The clockwork is pretty slick and is protected by mineral glass, keeping it safe from dust and dirt.

To top it off, the spaceship has a special man to pilot it. Say hello to Neil.

These are all limited edition pieces, so you have a rough idea of how much one will set you back. Learn more here.
