Design Statement by Richard Danne
“This watch represents pure joy for me and is the culmination of a long, fruitful relationship with NASA."
It was 1974 when the firm of Danne & Blackburn, with partner Bruce Blackburn, was selected to redesign the U.S. Space Agency. I began serving as External Design Director for NASA, a role that lasted for another ten productive years. During that time, the iconic NASA Graphics Standards Manual was fully completed and honored with a U.S. “Presidential Award for Design Excellence” in 1985.
Then in 2020, working with a remarkable NASA design committee, I helped update the Agency’s Design Guidelines to give our Logotype more prominence in the future.
This watch design is inspired by Space itself – its beauty, its silence, its rotating planets. The project caps an extraordinary involvement with the NASA family, one like no other and very close to my heart.”
