Brands have often looked to the stars for inspiration. But the DSKY Moonwatch is a unique piece that pays homage to a piece of tech that was pivotal to space exploration. The groundbreaking timepiece that honours the iconic Apollo Guidance Computer is now one-step closer to full-scale production.
The DSKY (pronounced “Diss-Kee”) Moonwatch is the brainchild of Apollo Instruments. Now, the company behind this revolutionary watch has just revealed that it is on track to meet its target. Inching its way towards production, orders have already poured in from around the globe, creating a rich community of space enthusiasts, engineers, and pioneers eager to be part of this historic tribute to space exploration.
An Homage To Space Exploration
The DSKY Moonwatch by Apollo Instruments.
What began as a tribute to the Apollo astronauts has quickly transformed into a symbol of innovation, attracting prominent figures from the world of space exploration, technology, and engineering. Among the latest customers are members of NASA and the United States Space Force, who recognise the watch’s authenticity and groundbreaking design.
Silicon Valley has also taken notice, with key players eager to support the project as it launches into the future of timekeeping technology. “The DSKY Moonwatch isn’t just a tribute to the Apollo mission—it’s a testament to the spirit of exploration that transcends eras,” explains Mark Clayton, CEO of Apollo Instruments.
“To have figures like Margaret Hamilton, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, who led the original Apollo guidance computer software team and Apple co-founder and tech ambassador Steve Wozniak on board reaffirms that we’re creating something truly special.”
More Than A Replica
More than just a replica of the Apollo Guidance Computer interface.
The DSKY Moonwatch is far more than just a copy of the Apollo Guidance Computer interface. It is a meticulously crafted timepiece designed for both space enthusiasts and those with a passion for precision engineering.
The watch brings the original interface to life with both an authentic appearance and functional experience. Thanks to years of painstaking research into archival documentation and collaboration with experts in the field, the watch offers wearers a truly interactive experience, replicating the interface as it was used by Apollo astronauts during their historic missions to the moon.
The watch’s unique ability to replicate the functions of the Apollo Guidance Computer is what sets it apart. It offers an immersive journey into space history, allowing wearers to operate the watch in the same manner as the astronauts did—making it the ultimate collectible for tech aficionados and space exploration fans alike.
In addition to offering authentic functionality, the DSKY Moonwatch is a feat of modern engineering, incorporating innovative features such as custom programming that push the boundaries of what a timepiece can do.
The company will soon expand its offerings with new models and limited-edition versions, as well as enhanced connectivity options for those looking to integrate the watch with additional devices. Plans are also in the works for developing themed accessories and immersive tech products that further elevate the DSKY experience.
