LIMITED EDITION SWAN & EDGAR HAND ASSEMBLED APOLLO AUTOMATIC BLACK WATCH RRP £210

While remembered as a triumph for America, the moon landing would not have been possible without the innovations of Francis Thomas Bacon. The Limited Edition Swan & Edgar Hand Assembled Francis Apollo Automatic Black men’s watch acknowledges such accolades and immortalises his work.

The automatic hand assembled 182 part 20 jewel movement represents the fine meticulous assumptions that made mid-century space exploration such a significant step forward for Earth. Its rose bezel shares similarities with the lights and gases of our solar system and beyond. The functional world timer highlights the entwined relationship of space and time itself, while the space-black dial with the globe and Apollo Rocket serves as a reminder for enduring curiosity.

The watch is completed with the stainless steel caseback engraved with a detailed Apollo Motif showing the initial liftoff of the spacecraft. This is surrounded by the date of the mission, along with a thematic countdown, and is secured by the IP black stainless steel bracelet. Such designs hint at the potential for humankind and represent the thirst to achieve more and build upon these victories each day, whether on this plane or exploring the vastness beyond the Milky Way.
