Pharrell's JOOPITER Goes Full Watch Nerd: Moon Speedmasters Meet Liquid Time

JOOPITER's newly launched Watches Department debuts with "Keeping Measure," its first dedicated watch auction spanning Patek Philippe to HYT. Bidding is live now through August 5, 2026, bringing together astronaut-worn pieces and wild independent watchmaking in one sale.

Pharrell's JOOPITER Goes Full Watch Nerd: Moon Speedmasters Meet Liquid Time

Pharrell Williams' auction platform JOOPITER has built its reputation on streetwear, art, and sneaker lots — but this time, they're getting serious about watches. The newly established Watches Department kicks off with "Keeping Measure: Watches & Timepieces," a selection spanning over half a century of watchmaking history, from heritage Maisons like Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, OMEGA, Piaget, and Cartier, all the way to independent watchmakers like Ressence, HYT, Speake-Marin, and Ōtsuka Lotēc.

The lineup itself reflects a distinct curatorial stance: rather than simply stacking blue-chip staples typical of major auction houses, it places industrial-era classics alongside niche, wildly experimental independent designs in the same sale.

The most story-rich piece in the lot is a 1969 OMEGA Alan Bean Speedmaster — belonging to the fourth human being to ever walk on the Moon. The sale also marks OMEGA's first-ever auction appearance of its complicated Speedmaster Chrono Chime, plus a rare tropical dial 2915-3. For those craving something beyond mechanical tradition, HYT's Moon Runner Red Magma from 2022 runs on liquid time display technology, making it arguably the least "watch-like" watch in the entire sale. Rounding things out is an Ulysse Nardin piece with an 18k woven bracelet crafted by the legendary workshop Gay Frères.

Bidding is open now and closes on August 5, 2026, with the sale aimed not just at seasoned collectors but newcomers to watch collecting as well. The full lot list is available on JOOPITER's official site, with pricing and sale details subject to the platform's official listings.
