Futurism is a funny thing. When it was released, people thought this watch looked like the future, but now it just looks like 1975. Not that that’s a bad thing.
Welcome to the peculiar subculture of Spaceman watches, a boutique brand manufactured between 1972 and 1977 that genuinely looks like nothing else. They’re more 2001 than Tron, and they pack extra design touches like spidery wristbands than separate them from the usual cultural detritus. Anything this rare has a built-in cachet…provided you can find one.
