Anybody see these or buy one? I just came across it. Sold out in 1 minute. Def a image to the Alaska Project. Has the support of NASA. https://www.anicorn-watches.com/products/anicorn-x-nasa-60th-anniversary-limited-edition
That is a strange name...how did they arrive there I wonder? ‘Anicorn’ = ‘Anus + Unicorn’ I would have rather called it Unius...
At least its not quartz. I think it's kinda cool looking, but not sure how anything to do with the design has much to do with NASA. Given all of the history that NASA is steeped in, especially with watches, they really didn't do much with it. Mostly seems like its just cashing in on NASA branding.
This is a celebration of a celebration, interesting design and hat tip to their unique strategy of marketing because it worked.
Somebody paid NASA for the right to brand their hideous creation as a "NASA Watch" and capitalized. Who at NASA would wear that watch?? No astronaut, that's for sure. Too hard to read accurately. I wonder how many they actually sold. There is no guarantee that they sold the full limit of watches they authorized. Could have been two watches that sold. Or a dozen, with more to (maybe) be released at a later date.
