Halda Space Discovery gets even better together with astronauts

We have been very pleased to continuously receive feedback from astronauts who are using the Halda watch as an instrument for research on a regular basis. Consequently the Space Module software has been updated according to their latest findings and demands. The Halda team has fine-tuned the G-Force sensors to optimize the measurements so that quick movements will be filtered, as it otherwise could disturb the measurement. The astronauts are primarily interested in measuring what G-Force the body is exposed to in different situations. We have also added the new function “Mission Mode”, which allows the display to be active all the time during space missions.

Naturally, owners of the Halda Space Discovery are more than welcome to update their Space Module at their earliest convenience, free of charge. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Mikael Sandstrom,
CEO

About Halda Watch Company
Halda Watch Company was founded in 1887 by Swedish watch-maker Henning Hammarlund. It quickly became a worldwide success known for its advanced fine mechanics and quality.
Halda watches featured on prominent people such as HMK Oscar II and renowned Swedish writer August Strindberg and the watches were also honoured with several international awards in competition with the very best watch producers at that time. In 2009, Halda Watch Company was brought back to life by watch entrepreneur Mikael Sandström, through the  introduction of the concept and plans for the modern Halda – the Halda Space Discovery, Limited Edition, first released on the market in 2011.
The Haldas of the 21st century follows the devise of its founding father, Henning Hammarlund – to never compromise with quality or function. For its’ manifestation of advanced and pioneering technical engineering and fine mechanics, the Halda Space Discovery was honoured with a placement in the Swedish pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. In 2011, it features as part of the exhibition ‘NASA – A Human Adventure’, world premiering at National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm.
