It’s impressive and mystical. The Moon has fascinated mankind for millennia. As Earth’s closest celestial body, it has inspired poets and philosophers and spurred on researchers and astronauts, and it still influences people today. With its regular orbit around the Earth, it sustains the tides, acts as a marker for dividing our year into months and is therefore an essential timekeeper for life on Earth.
The independent Glashütte manufactory Moritz Grossmann let the beauty, radiance and power of the Moon guide it, capturing its magic in a timepiece with a special brilliance: MOON in SPACE is a homage to Earth’s fascinating companion and combines time and space in bold aesthetics and maximum precision.
