THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS

This April, we launched the Apogee Karman Line, India’s first space-qualified watch. New Indian Express recently featured this space watch, sharing how it was carefully designed and rigorously tested to perform in extreme conditions, reflecting our commitment to highlighting India's achievements in space through watchmaking.

After carefully designing the watch using our Cerasteel —a unique steel and ceramic composite—and incorporating a Muonionalusta meteorite dial, we subjected it to rigorous pressure and freeze tests to ensure it could handle space conditions.

After successful tests, we partnered with a UK team to launch this meteorite watch on a hydrogen balloon. It ascended to 114,000 feet before returning safely, proving its resilience in space-like conditions. Read the full story here.
