His unique perspective, showcasing both the raw meteorite material and the finished dial, highlights the extraordinary journey of this cosmic element. This article delves into the allure and astronomical origins of the meteorite dial, as explored by Amanico and the WatchProSite community.
Never seen anything like it, must be so interesting in person.
Thought the picture was “photoshopped,” if I could be Frank, or maybe John, or Jane.
the watch the meteor and the picture
...had been wandering through space for millions of years before becoming that beautiful dial. Regards Kev.
"Meteorites are fragments of asteroids that travel around the solar system for millions, or even billions, of years. The one chosen here is over 4 billion years old. Having fallen to earth some 800,000 years ago, it was discovered in Sweden and comes from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter." Truly miraculous...
The age of this material is mind-boggling in and of itself. But, I also find it amazing to know that it came from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. I think that Frank Sinatra may well have provided the theme music for this watch: "Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars." 😉
