Author	Topic: Shinola 'Moon Bean' Alan Bean wristwatch
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42981 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 11-21-2018 01:00 AM collectSPACE Shinola 'Moon Bean' timepiece features Apollo astronaut's artwork A new timepiece beams a spotlight on the life of an Apollo astronaut who landed on the moon 49 years ago this week. Detroit-based Shinola has launched "Moon Bean," a wristwatch styled in tribute to the late moonwalker Alan Bean. On Nov. 19, 1969, Bean became only the fourth person in history to set foot on the moon as lunar module pilot on NASA's Apollo 12 mission.

I have a number of Shinola watches, including a few from their Great Americans series. To know that Alan Bean was involved and overseeing watch design is an amazing thought — I can’t wait to add this to my collection. Thanks for posting, Robert.
