I just love the Spaceman watch from the
1970's. I have a feeling there are a lot of other people who love this
watch. It's simply adorable! Designed by Andre Le Marquand, architect
and watch designer from Switzerland.
The first model - the oval one, which you can see below - was released in 1972 and was issued in six different colours. It's truly a classic vintage watch range.
The second in the series, called the "Audacieuse"was released
in 1974 with an assymetrical shape on a leather strap. These watches can
be found with lighting; completely black; chromium plated and in men's
and women's sizes.
Here's some photos, pretty cool watches eh? You can see some PDF's from
the Pieter Doensen watch book and read what he says about this stunning
collection of designer watches - click on the PDF icons at the bottom of the
