Kojima Productions, founded by distinguished video game designer Hideo Kojima, will be partnering with NASA to release a watch. Watch designer ANICORN will be producing the watch and will release it on September 27.
The name of the watch is Space Ludens and designed using the NASA logo and Kojima Productions company mascot.
“Teaming up with the most distinguished game creator Hideo Kojima and remarkable space agency NASA, ANICORN is honored to present the once-in-a-lifetime collaboration timepiece – SPACE LUDENS, an epic partnership that is inspired by Ludens to proclaim creativity, imagination and the play element in culture.”
Not many will expect this collaboration as NASA and Hideo Kojima is of different industries. The watch itself looks stylish, with gold, white and silver adorning the watch.

Interestingly, the design of the watch is by Yoji Shinkawa with Kojima Productions mascot, Ludens, as an inspiration.
“Ludens is the KOJIMA PRODUCTION studio icon and mascot designed by Yoji Shinkawa that was originally born from the idea of an astronaut exploring a digital space.”
