Last week I visited the NASA museum in Huntsville, Alabama. In addition to having a full Saturn V rocket on display (both outside and inside), there is also a full lunar lander on display inside . . . . and hanging right next to it a giant Speedmaster. Great museum and an awesome display !

They have one of those giant Speedmasters at Johnson Space Center as well. Can’t remember if they have one at Kennedy (but I wouldn’t be surprised).

I don't know about the watch size, but boy I bet it took a lot of Legos to make that full-sized rocket

It appears to be made of bioceramic.

Was the giant Speedy an actual working wall clock?

Well it make sense that it's where it is, as the bloody thing is so big it would be a bastard to ship it any further!

+1 on recommending a visit to Huntsville. I was lucky enough to buy a 2998 from an actual rocket scientist there.

I was at the Bienne museum for hours looking in every display case. Somehow I missed the giant watch! Talk about missing the elephant in the room! 🫨

This one is totally ok to wear while mowing your lawn.

I’d advise against swimming while wearing it.

Considering it shows the exact same time in both the OP’s & Spacefruits pictures, I would wager it is not. Unless, they were there at identical times 😜

I noticed that after I posted my question. Seems like a missed opportunity. It would make a great clock.
