Anicorn is a watchmaker and design label based in Hong Kong and its recent seasonal piece for Fall 2018 is a collaborative project done with [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u1spg-nasa-artemis) in celebration of its 60th anniversary. The limited-edition timepiece is made to commemorate the spectacular milestone. To mark the anniversary, the watches will be limited to only 60 pieces in total, each of which will be numbered to be special. The additional metal plate on the watch movement boasts references to the partnership.

The entire package comes with a ceramic coat finish done by [Cerakote](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unimatic-x-massena-lab-u1spg-nasa-artemis) and held together with a white textile wrist strap that sees NASA's signature emblem embroidered. There are also the GPS coordinates of the Florida Kennedy Space Center along with a warranty plate.
