…A WATCH DESIGNED FOR MARS
Some watches are built to work deep underwater, others at high altitudes. The Amadee-24 has been built to withstand the surface of Mars. It’s unlikely you – or anyone, in fact – will need a Mars-ready watch, but it’s certainly a cool concept. Tested at a Mars analogue site, the Amadee-24 spent a month in Mars-like conditions and was even sent up into space. It’ll keep time in the face of the most extreme changes in temperature, air pressure and all the perils found beyond Earth’s atmosphere, so you can be fairly sure it’ll withstand being accidentally dropped in the sink when you’re doing the washing up.
