Mechanical Heart in Cosmic Space
The astronaut design emerged from our ongoing work with space-inspired watchmaking. We've developed several cosmic concepts over the years — Space Surfer and Galaxy established this creative direction, and the Festina collaboration provided an opportunity to explore it further through the platform's open-heart feature. The visible movement aperture suggested a helmet window, which became the focal point for developing the astronaut figure. Our artists worked with the existing deep blue dial as the foundation, using the color's natural depth to suggest atmospheric space.
