A Conversation on Watches, Space & The Dreams Pushing Humanity Forward

<p>On this episode, I sit down with IWC CEO Chris Grainger-Herr and astronaut/geophysicist Drew Feustel at Vast HQ for a conversation about space, time, design, and the future of exploration. We discuss why space is the next frontier for IWC, how time feels different in orbit, the physical and psychological impact of living in space, the “overview effect” astronauts experience when seeing Earth from above, and how science fiction, engineering, and human ambition continue to shape what comes next.</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>0:00 Intro</p><p>2:15 How Time Changes in Orbit</p><p>4:58 Disorientation and Adapting to Space</p><p>7:12 Waking Up After Returning</p><p>8:28 The Overview Effect: Seeing Earth Differently</p><p>12:08 Designing a Watch for Zero Gravity</p><p>15:22 A New Era for IWC Tool Watches</p><p>18:27 How Science Fiction Inspires Space Innovation</p><p>21:00 The Rise of Space Tourism</p><p>21:44 Closing Remarks</p>
