Shinola Unveils Limited Edition Mooncraft Wall Clock to Honor Detroit’s Apollo Mission Contributions
Detroit-based luxury goods manufacturer Shinola has introduced a new limited edition wall clock, the Mooncraft Wall Clock, designed to complement their Mooncraft Monster: Apollo 11 watch. This new timepiece aims to celebrate Detroit’s historical contributions to NASA’s Apollo Moon Missions.
The centerpiece of the clock is a custom-made, hand-painted moon map created by Dalia Reyes, a Detroit native and interdisciplinary cosmic artist. Each of the 50 limited edition clocks features a unique, silver foil moon carefully crafted by Reyes, ensuring no two pieces are identical.
Key features of the Mooncraft Wall Clock include:
- A 14-inch diameter face with a matte black dial and case, reminiscent of the night sky.
- Silver hour and minute hands painted with C1 lume for visibility in dark conditions.
- A red second hand for a subtle pop of color.
- A numbered stamp on the dial indicating its place in the limited series of 50.
The clock can be wall-mounted or displayed on its accompanying black oak stand, offering versatility in placement.
Shinola describes the piece as “a reminder that when it comes to what humankind can accomplish, the sky isn’t the limit—it’s simply the beginning.” This statement alludes to both the historical significance of the Apollo missions and the innovative spirit of Detroit.
The company notes that the Mooncraft Wall Clock is built in Detroit using a combination of U.S. and imported parts, maintaining their commitment to local manufacturing.
This limited edition release represents Shinola’s continued efforts to create products that merge functionality with artistic design and historical significance. The Mooncraft Wall Clock stands as both a timekeeping device and a collectible art piece, potentially appealing to space enthusiasts, art collectors, and supporters of Detroit’s manufacturing heritage.
