Vast selects IWC Schaffhausen as 'official timekeeper' for Haven space stations

A U.S. company developing what it plans to be the world's first commercial space station has chosen a Swiss luxury watchmaker to be its "Official Timekeeper."

Vast, a space habitation firm based in Long Beach, California, has partnered with IWC Schaffhausen to provide timepieces for its clients. The collaboration also aims at enhancing the "durability and performance of mechanical watches on Earth [while pushing] the boundaries of watchmaking to the harsh environment of space," according to the two companies.
