·Very beautiful in concept and in execution both. Would you please forward me the link of the supplier. I’d perhaps order one for my TinTin as well.

The TinTin is a watch with a nice story behind it. I would like to know what happened if they could make the deal with the TinTin-publisher and I would like to know how the watch would be look like exactly.

We'll never know what would have happened. I assume Icewatch sold a lot of Tintin related watches though. How the original would have looked we do know. But I did not see it at the Omega museum when I was there last week.

Not sure if its appropriate to start posting "artist impression guestimates" on how it likely would have looked? I guess not doing so adds to the mystery, right?
I was wearing the Tin Tin last night when eating at a restaurant. The place has only been open for a week, so it wasn't very crowded and the managment staff was good about coming around and talking with customers. One manager was standing about 10 feet awy from our table for a while, and then he came over and said "Excuse me, but I have to ask -- is that some sort of special Speedmaster you are wearing?" It turns out he is into vintage Seamasters (he was wearing a '50s Seamaster), and is gunning for a 'Racing' Speedy or a new Aqua Terra.
It was the first time a stranger has asked me about a watch. My dad was there with me, and was amazed that someone would come up and ask about something like that. And I think he was a little disappointed when his ss Cartier tank quartz did not warrant attention 😁
