The sartorial decisions of astronauts are hardly labour-intensive. You have to wear a spacesuit and that is pretty much that. Clearly miffed by such restrictions, Jeff Bezos decided to go very big on his accoutrements when he blasted into space in July. Following his 11-minute flight, the tech titan stepped from his spacecraft onto the desert earth of west Texas in uncharacteristic garb. Bezos wore a cowboy hat and boots, presumably to labour the point about space being the last frontier.
This year, Rolex released luxury UK replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watches with a dial hewn from a 600 million-year-old meteorite. Other watches to have left the earth’s orbit include the Swiss made Breitling Navitimer fake watches.
This eagerness to shoot for the moon is driven by the positive brand associations. Space travel demonstrates high quality copy watches’ technical resilience, while astronauts are intrepid figures that exude all “the right stuff”. 1:1 best replica watches and space are therefore a marriage made, if not in heaven, then slightly below it, among the stars.
But it’s hard to overlook the fact that in the 21st century, Swiss movements super clone watches is less a time-telling device than a conspicuous status signifier. And space is the ultimate flex.
We can all see the moon, but for most of us it’s forever out of reach. Perhaps that’s why so many of the world’s richest men – Bezos, Elon Musk, Richard Branson – are ploughing millions into launching their rockets. Any bog-standard oligarch can own a superyacht. To show you truly operate on the next level, the stakes are no longer sky-high, they’re intergalactic.
