New Wedding Trend: Time Since Launch At The Altar

Times are strange in 2020--weddings are getting cancelled, postponed or altered to accommodate social distancing.  New ways to celebrate are popping up all the time! 

One of the newest traditions involves Time Since Launch, a unique timepiece that can be present at the event. At that moment the couple is pronounced married, each participant pulls the pin out, beginning the countdown of their married life from Moment Zero!

The marital epoch is safeguarded within this unique timepiece designed and over-engineered to outlive you both. Suspended in a durable borosilicate glass tube and sealed with gasketed aluminum end-caps, two LCDs show days, hours, minutes and seconds since “I do.” Built to count for 2,738 years and to be handed down to the next generations. Batteries will last 20-40 years and can be swapped out without losing track of time.
About Time Since Launch
When John Glenn became the first American astronaut to orbit earth, the only piece of technology on his body, other than a spacesuit, was a 12-hour stopwatch. Soon after launch, Glenn started his stopwatch in sync with tracking stations across the world. At that moment, Mission Elapsed Time (MET) began counting up from zero. A launch timer was not only required for a successful mission (ie. to calculate position), it also created a shared global timezone.
Quietly situated at the center of a tremendous collaborative feat of human innovation, the launch clock marks an arbitrary Moment Zero. A moment shared by humans scattered all over the world and one hurtling through space.
Time Since Launch ships with its LCDs in pre-launch mode, this rhythmic cycling through each of the segments ensures even wear and tear.
To launch, pull the stainless-steel launch pin to initiate the timer.
You can only do this once!
This action burns that instant into the chip's silicon, making that moment yours forever.
