Millennium 2000 Pocket Watch - Looking Toward Our Future

Millennium 2000 Pocket Watch - This antique gold finished millennium pocket watch with chain is a traditional keepsake/collectible for this once in a lifetime event. The engraved cover of the pocket watch of the new millennium is dramatically illustrated, exquisitely sculpted and hand polished, deep relief die struck, portraying the sun rising above our planet earth while parent and child look out towards the other planets, the distant galaxies and the promise of the new discoveries to come in the year 2000 and beyond. The spiraling contours of the double rings surrounding this scene echo the perpetual orbits of the planets around our majestic sun as manned and unmanned space exploration is subtly portrayed within this galactic landscape as the space shuttle and a distant satellite prepares mankind for the new millennium by helping us to LOOK TOWARD OUR FUTURE.
