If you find the Space Race and attempts to be the first to land on the moon captivating (as we do here at The Coolector), there is a series of watches from Marloe Watch Company that will be right up your street. Namely, their newly launched Astro Watches which are a celebration of man’s attempts to land on the moon back in the 1960s. The Astro Collection takes inspiration from all eras of the space race – from humankind’s first tentative steps into the universe; Sputnik, Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova – the first woman to travel to space.
Priced at £349, there are four different watches to choose from within Marloe’s Astro series of timepieces – namely, the Eagle, Valentina, Stellar and Futura – and each packs their own unique visual punch that’s hard to ignore. The historical importance of the television to witness these ground-breaking astrological events, is why Marloe have been inspired to replicate the squircle outline found on vintage televisions for the case profile of the Astro. It’s a nod to history, looking on in awe at what we can achieve as a human species by working together.
All of Marloe’s watches are made in small batches – the First Edition production run for each of the Astro watches is 300 pieces, numbered from 0001 – 0300 so you’ll need to move fast if you want to add one of these astrologically awesome watches to your wrist this autumn. There aesthetics of the Astro range from Marloe Watch Company is old school in the extreme and definitely something we can get on board with here at Coolector HQ. If you’re after an impactful timepiece for your wrist, look no further.
