A Conversation on Watches, Space & The Dreams Pushing Humanity Forward
About this episode
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.
