Bremont Moon Mission | How the Supernova Chrono Is Going to the Moon as the Ultimate Space Watch

What happens when a mechanical watch is subjected to the same kind of engineering philosophy used for spacecraft? Bremont is taking its Supernova Chronograph somewhere very few watches have ever been designed to go: the Moon. As part of Bremont’s Moon Mission I, the 41mm Supernova Chronograph is set to travel aboard Astrolab’s FLIP lunar rover, heading for the lunar south pole on Astrobotic’s Griffin-1 mission. And unlike a watch simply carried into space, this one is being integrated directly into the rover, with the intention of remaining on the lunar surface after landing. The Supernova is being subjected to a demanding spacecraft protoflight qualification programme designed to test hardware against the extreme conditions of launch, flight and lunar operations. That includes thermal-vacuum testing, extreme hot-and-cold cycling amd bakeout, random vibration, shock testing and electromagnetic compatibility testing. In this video take a closer look at the Bremont Supernova, the technology behind Astrolab's FLIP rover, why the lunar south pole is such a challenging destination, and what it actually takes to design a mechanical watch for one of the most unforgiving environments imaginable. ⌚ WATCH: Bremont Supernova Chronograph 🌕 DESTINATION: Lunar South Pole 🛰️ ROVER: Astrolab FLIP 🚀 MISSION: Astrobotic Griffin-1 If you're into watches, space exploration, engineering, technology and extreme mechanical design, subscribe for more. #Bremont #MoonMission #Supernova #Space #
