Since humans first gazed up at the night sky, the moon has fascinated us. Now, you can carry your own piece of the moon with you everywhere you go.
A new timepiece offered by Stauer, a Richmond-based jewelry company, presents part of an authenticated lunar meteorite in its face.
What is a lunar meteorite? It's a piece of the moon that was ejected from the lunar surface following an asteroid impact. Without question, a lunar meteorite is one of the rarest substances on Earth.
The lunar meteorite featured in this timepiece was located in Mauritania's Sahara Desert and authenticated by Professor Anthony Irving of the University of Washington's Department of Earth and Space Sciences. Dr. Irving's findings underwent peer review and were published in the 108th edition of the Meteoritical Bulletin.
Sold at auction by Christie's, this meteorite has been cut and polished to reveal its matrix. For a limited time only, we're offering this meteorite in our Men's Lunar Meteorite Watch. Each of the 800 timepieces come with a numbered certificate of authenticity, ensuring the rarity of this watch.
"A watch featuring an authenticated piece of the moon is an exceptional rarity," says George Thomas, one of the world's most renowned watch historians. "To be able to own a piece of the moon is an extraordinary opportunity."
Each watch comes with a complimentary copy of "Moon: An Illustrated History," a 224-page book featuring dazzling images and illuminating text that presents 100 milestones in the moon's development.
Once these 800 watches are sold, that's it. Don't miss your chance to own one of the rarest substances on the globe.
