A Work of Art from the Stars: Meteorite Watches
Rarity, uniqueness and craftsmanship, is in the art of watchmaking. A piece of our cosmic origins can be turned into a timepiece.
Companies like Rolex and Omega produce exclusive watches with pieces of space rock.
The Gibeon meteorites have a distinct Widmanstatten pattern that’s attractive to some watchmakers. This pattern is only revealed when the meteorite rocks are cut into thin sheets and treated with an acid wash.
