70s WATCH - VERY RARE SPACEMAN AUDACIEUSE LEATHER (NEW OLD STOCK) ANDRE LE MARQUAND TYPE: VINTAGE - AUTOMATIC AGE: 1972 NEW OLD STOCK PRICE: £500 "> FEATURES SWISS MADE MANUAL WINDING 17 JEWEL DATE 6 ' O ' CLOCK CASE MEASUREMENTS - 40mm (W) X 38mm (H) X 15mm (T) ASYMMETRICAL CRYSTAL VERY HARD TO FIND DESCRIPTION: Get funky this summer with this very rare Leather Audacieuse. THE SPACEMAN HAS BEEN EXHIBITED AT LA CHAUX DE FONDS INTERNATIONAL CLOCK AND WATCH MUSEUM IN SWITZERLAND AND THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART IN NEW YORK CITY REF: PIETER DOENSEN BOOK The SPACE WATCH from 1972 was designed by Andre Le Marquand Geneve, inspired by an Astronaut's Helmet. The first design was originally created in 1968 and introduced at the 1972 Basel Fair in Switzerland. Designed as a hallmark to the epochal Moon Landing of the Space Age, this watch caused a sensation - nobody thought that these strange looking watches could ever be sold. This watch was sold by Tressa Lux, Fortis, Jules Jurgensen, Octo, Zeno Watch, Harlem and others. The straps were made by Dupont and Nemours out of Corfam. From the asymmetrical semi-conical domed crystal, modeled after an Astronaut's helmet and Videosphere style dial, the Spaceman evokes a Stanley Kubrick 2001 A Space Odyssey aesthetic that is likened to other famous modern age designs by artists from Mid-Century Modern to the Space Age era whilst maintaining an edge that has been lost in today's dismal watch market. This watch is an extremely rare New Old stock model.
