Put Your Helmet On

If a watch cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars you might assume that it was made of gold and a lot of precious gemstones. You would not expect the case to be made of second-hand steel, some of it rusty, with a strap that included recycled man-made fabrics, and to have a face made of compressed dust. Yet, this Swiss watch maker is doing just that; granted the steel is from the Apollo XI spacecraft, the dust includes moondust and the fabric is from a spacesuit.
