65 years ago... NASA-issued astronaut watches ! 1959 NASA's bespoke LeCoultre astronaut wrist watches ! In 1959, the NASA Space Task Group (STG) decided the "Mercury 7" astronauts required a 24 hours dial pilot watch as the worldwide network of tracking stations worked with military 24 hours system, so an astronaut in orbit could cope easier with time awareness, experiencing a Sunrise every 90 minutes. The STG's choice was LeCoultre as the watch brand already offered the LeCoultre Quartermaster with 24 hours dial and genuine 24 hours movement. These bespoke LeCoultre astronaut watches were worn on lightweight stretch steel Jacoby Bender bracelets. Although not worn during spaceflight missions, all Mercury 7 astronauts wore these 34 mm waterproof anti-magnetic stainless steel LeCoultre watches extensively during training and official events up to October 1963!

65 years ago, first officially NASA-issued astronaut wrist watches! In 1959, the NASA Space Task Group (STG) decided the "Mercury 7" astronauts required a 24 hours dial pilot watch as the worldwide network of tracking stations worked with military 24 hours system, so an astronaut in orbit could cope easier with time awareness, experiencing a Sunrise every 90 minutes.

Although not worn during spaceflight missions, all Mercury 7 astronauts wore these 34 mm waterproof anti-magnetic stainless steel LeCoultre watches extensively during training and official events up to October 1963! A year later, in September 1964 Donald Slayton wrote his NASA memo for a durable accurate chronograph for Gemini & Apollo crews. NASA engineer James Ragan sent out request for quotations to ten different watch brands, only four replied with wrist watch chronographs to be tested by NASA... (Photos: LeCoultre/LIFE/NASA)

Nicholas Hoult at MEGACON today.

Q: “What character would you like to play in the future?”

Hoult: “There’s so much I want to do with Lex [Luthor]. I hope to play that character for a while. I’m also excited to see what Marvel does with the X-Men. I’d be honored to play Beast again.”
