I have never seen this item, and would love to see more of it -- close-up of the timepieces, movements, box, instructions, etc.
Strange to see this dated 1991, when TAG Heuer seems to have first discovered the John Glenn story, in 2006. Of course, a prior regime at TAG Heuer may have known the story, and then had this information lost, when new personnel came aboard.
Show us more of this one!!
One thing for sure -- whoever printed the box ignored Yuri Gagarin and the Soviet space program. Yes, he was wearing a watch, Soviet made, of course.
