We may never experience the wonders of space travel - but you could own your very own piece of the cosmos
The concept of space travel is a mysterious one that ignites a sense of awe and wonder in us all. Beyond the beautiful, twinkling night sky lies a vast universe beyond our wildest imagination; one many of us fantasise about someday exploring.
The launch of the Blue Dot - inspired by Carl Sagan's description of the Earth from space as a 'pale blue dot' - offers a timeless connection to the cosmos. Blending the marvels of space exploration with the precision of expert watchmaking, the Blue Dot was thoughtfully designed to capture the essence of our humble planet's place in the vast universe.
Beyond the interstellar materials incorporated into the Blue Dot’s classic design, wearers will have the bragging rights of owning a watch that has journeyed into space. Each watch travels to over 120,000ft before returning to Earth, carried on a spacecraft equipped with a space-capable camera system which documents the journey. The first batch was sent into space on March 18, 2024 from a dedicated launch site in Sheffield.
