Which watch would you take with you to Mars?

Based on Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, we know that time passes more slowly when travelling at the speed of light than it does on Earth. And now, there’s finally a watch that can measure this time dilation in style

In honour of NASA’s 60th anniversary, Hong Kong watch brand Anicorn has released a minimalist wristwatch, limited to just 60 pieces, that is easy to read both on Earth and whilst suspended in weightlessness. The numbered, white, ceramic-coated watches will be shipped with matching cloth wristbands and commemorative plaques inscribed with the GPS coordinates of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida — just in case you lose your bearings on your return from Mars.
