Detroit-based Shinola’s range of watches is renowned for its engineering excellence, with the brand expanding in recent years to cover luxury items ranging from leather bands to jewelry and apparel. This dedication to high-end craftsmanship and stunning designs is reflected in its latest release, the Shinola Mooncraft Clock.
Incorporating a cool textured, reflective moon map as its centerpiece, the Shinola Mooncraft Clock has been launched as a companion piece to the iconic Shinola Mooncraft Monster: Apollo 11 limited-edition watch. It’s a fitting tribute from a manufacturer based in the heart of Detroit, standing as a celebration of the city’s pivotal contributions to the engineers who worked on the Apollo Moon Missions.
The moon centerpiece featured on the Shinola Mooncraft Clock has been painstakingly hand-painted using silver foil by a professional artist, making each version completely unique. Encased in a matte black dial and case to capture the pitch darkness of the night sky, its hour and minute hands are brought into relief through the use of glow-in-the-dark C1 lume. An additional pop of bright red on the second hand brings an additional touch of illumination and ease of use.
Measuring 14 inches in diameter, the Shinola Mooncraft Clock comes with a robust black oak stand with the option to mount it on the wall, stamped with a numerical designation on the dial. Available in a limited edition of 50 pieces, it’s a worthy custom timepiece for astronomy and horology lovers alike.
