Nick Jonas x Fossil Campaign

“It’s the use of materials that give this collection a distinct personality. They’re exceptionally personal pieces that elevate any look,” says Nick Jonas. “I’m excited to share my love of watches and this collection with the world.”

A lifelong watch enthusiast whose first watch was a FOSSIL, Jonas has partnered with the brand to mark the full-circle moment with a global campaign, captured in Jonas’ native New Jersey. Shot by renowned creative director and photographer Anthony Mandler, and styled by celebrity image maker, Sydney Lopez, the campaign sees Jonas in iconic styles, participating in activities that marked his childhood like visiting local diners and going to the bowling alley. This nod to Jonas’ childhood era will reignite the same nostalgic memories in customers and brand fans, reminding them of small and monumental moments alike throughout their lives.

“Collaborating with the FOSSIL design team has been a dream come true. They were receptive and open to my ideas throughout the entire process,” said Nick Jonas. “I still remember the excitement and pure joy I felt when I purchased my first FOSSIL watch shortly after one of my early performances. I wanted to capture that feeling for today’s customers and give them styles that feel elevated and luxurious, but still embody the nostalgia synonymous with FOSSIL.”

The “Machine Luxe” collection is a reimagined take on our bold and bestselling Machine platform, consisting of seven new watches and two new watch rings. Each style features a statement shaped case and signature knurling, characteristic of the Machine series at large.

The Machine Luxe Sunray Dial watches are available in Blue Vignette and Gold-Toned, featuring finely etched lines that fan out from the center of the dial to create a radiant sunray texture. The Blue Vignette paired with a brown croc-embossed leather strap was a personal request by Jonas, echoing a treasured piece from his own collection.

The Machine Luxe Automatic models elevate the offering with a skeletonized dial that reveals a premium Japanese automatic movement and hand-assembled parts. Available in Gunmetal and Gold-Toned.

Showcasing rich natural materials, the Machine Luxe Stone Dial watches arrive in genuine Malachite, Aventurine, and Marble. The signature knurling extends onto the bracelet, adding a bold twist to the classic dress watch silhouette.

Completing the capsule are the Machine Luxe Watch Rings in Gunmetal and Green Vignette. The rings mirror the timepieces’ aesthetic, bringing signature FOSSIL design details into the brand’s distinct, best-selling watch ring.

“Nick Jonas has a genuine love for watches and an authentic connection with FOSSIL brand, it having been his first watch,” said Melissa Lowenkron, Chief Brand Officer of Fossil. “There’s a sense of nostalgia and personal style he brings to the design—rooted in his own journey—that we know will resonate with fans and collectors alike.”

The Nick Jonas x FOSSIL Collection will be available at FOSSIL.com, all FOSSIL stores beginning August 20, 2025, and premium global retailers beginning September 2025.

FOSSIL

Since 1984, Fossil has been rooted in bold design and quality craftsmanship of watches. Over the past 40 years, the brand has grown into a multi-category lifestyle brand inclusive of leather goods and jewelry that blend vintage inspiration with modern innovation by creating pieces that spark curiosity, connection, and lasting memories. Fossil creates keepsakes that honor the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to the future.

NICK JONAS

After electrifying music from multiple angles, appearing in blockbuster films, and launching successful business ventures, Nick Jonas still challenges himself and popular culture. Of course, his story as one-third of Jonas Brothers remains well-documented—especially given the band’s chart-dominating 2019 comeback Happiness Begins, sold out tours, and subsequent GRAMMY® Award nomination. At the same time, he established himself as a dynamic solo artist with a penchant for breaking boundaries. 2014’s self-titled Nick Jonas yielded the triple-platinum “Jealous,” double-platinum “Chains,” and gold-certified “Levels.” Its 2016 follow-up Last Year Was Complicated spawned the anthem “Close” [feat. Tove Lo] and brought his streams into the billions. In 2017, he contributed the Golden Globe® Award-nominated “Home” to the Ferdinand soundtrack. Meanwhile, his songwriting would be recognized with the prestigious Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2016, and in 2021, he released his solo studio album Spaceman via Island Records.  Along the way, he also captivated audiences as a recurring judge on NBC’s “The Voice” in big screen favorites such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Ugly Dolls, Midway, Jumanji: The Next Level, Chaos Walking and more. In 2023, he starred in Robert Schwartzman’s The Good Half and is now set to return to the silver screen alongside Paul Rudd in the upcoming musical comedy Power Ballad.  In 2023, Nick and Jonas Brothers once again proved they are a constant force, embarking on a new era with the release of The Album, via Republic Records. The Album was produced by Jon Bellion and features hit singles “Waffle House” and “Wings.” In support of the new album and this new era for Jonas Brothers, they kicked off “The Tour” kicking off with two sold-out shows at New York’s iconic Yankee Stadium. “The Tour” included stadium and arena dates around the globe through 2024, resulting in the band’s biggest and most extensive tour to date. 2025 marks 20 years of Jonas Brothers, with their upcoming studio album Greetings From Your Hometown set for release via Republic Records on August 8, followed by a celebratory tour kicking off in their home state of New Jersey at MetLife Stadium on August 10.

The historic Tom Thumb building in Aspen is the prime location for another Oliver Smith boutique. For more info, visit oliversmithjeweler.com.

]]> Arnold & Son Unveils Two New Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold Timepieces at Geneva Watch Days Event https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/arnold-son-unveils-two-new-perpetual-moon-38-red-gold-timepieces-at-geneva-watch-days-event/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 18:40:07 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931250

Arnold & Son welcomes two new dial variations to the Perpetual Moon 38 collection.  The Swiss watchmaker revealed the two new limited-edition moon phase timepiece models at Geneva Watch Days – including a limited edition of 88 pieces in blue aventurine glass and a 28-piece limited edition in sunray brushed grey. With these new designs, Arnold & Son exhibits its mastery of color, its sense of texture, and its taste for premium materials, telling a nocturnal narrative that brings together the grey of a cliff, the iridescent white of the moon, the inky black blue of a starry sky, and the precise astronomical moon phase of the A&S1612 caliber.

From the outset, Perpetual Moon 38 was destined to become a full-fledged collection. While distinct from its larger 41.5 mm diameter Perpetual Moon cousin, the 38 mm model shares the unwavering quality, precision, and high-level finish associated with the Arnold & Son name.

Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 10.44 mm thick, the Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold case is brought to life from a block of red gold (5N). Its bezel, four lugs, and crown are polished, shining under the cold light of the moon. The blue aventurine dial, constellated with metallic particles, blends into a celestial vault sculpted from the same glass. The “cliff grey” dial, in a warm, sunray-brushed grey, boasts an ever-shifting moiré effect under a grained matte midnight blue sky.  

These two limited editions of Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold are home to a huge moon phase: a luminescent disc of mother-of-pearl illuminates the sky, framed by the constellations of Cassiopeia and Ursa Major.  

A 38 MM PICTURE OF PRECISION

Perpetual Moon 38 Red Gold transposes stringent watchmaking requirements of Arnold & Son into a smaller, more slender case. The Arnold & Son Swiss manufacturer has designed an entirely new caliber, the smallest in its collection, and dedicated it to Perpetual Moon 38.

At 30 mm, the A&S1612 caliber has been sized to fit the diameter of the case. The hand-wound movement continues Arnold & Son’s tradition of calibers with long power reserves, reaching up to 90 hours.  

WAXING MOON, WANING MOON

The star complication of the A&S1612 caliber is its moon phase. Perpetual Moon 38 showcases a large moon disc. The different crescents occupy the large aperture between 10 and 2 o’clock, with the form of their cut-out faithfully recreating the appearance of the moon.  

True to its tradition of precision watchmaking, Arnold & Son has given this moon phase an accuracy of 122 years. Continuously rising, it will take more than a century for this moon to lag one day behind the real one in our skies.  

About Arnold & Son

Arnold & Son eschews commonly expected conventions to create singular collections imbued with English heritage. It thus unites the exacting standards of Swiss watchmaking with a unique aesthetic.

Arnold & Son is named after John Arnold, a renowned English watchmaker of the 18th century. The golden age of maritime explorations and discoveries ushered this precision into a new technical ideal – determining longitude at sea. Its immediate corollary was the identification of local time, which changed constantly as the observer moved along an east-west axis. Astronomy, chronometry, and what we now call world time are thus inextricably linked within one and the same question, to which John Arnold and his son devoted their lives, their art, and their genius.

This is how these three dimensions – Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time – have come to be embodied in the House’s contemporary timepieces. Echoes of John Arnold’s inventions and preoccupations, these principles represent the foundations on which the Arnold & Son collections are based. The twenty-plus calibers presented to date by Arnold & Son have all been designed and developed in-house and produced by its sister manufacturer, La Joux-Perret in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland). This independence and creativity demonstrate the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.

EXCLUSIVITY

Arnold & Son’s collections are produced in limited series and distributed worldwide through carefully selected retail partners. 

HERITAGE

As a renowned watchmaker, John Arnold produced some of the most accurate marine chronometers of the 18th century. He won several awards from the Bureau des Longitudes, spurring him on in his research into timekeeping. He filed many patents as an inventor, including one for a compensation balance featuring a bimetallic balance spiral and another for a helical balance spring with terminal curves. Arnold also produced simplified chronometer design principles that permitted mass production of these timepieces, many of which were made available to His Majesty’s Royal Navy, making John Arnold one of its principal suppliers. One of his least known but most significant contributions was the modern definition of the term ‘chronometer’, which today refers to a high-precision timepiece driven by a movement that has passed an accuracy inspection carried out by an official neutral body.

AUTHENTICITY

A fine watchmaking House stands out for its mastery of the classics. Arnold & Son has based its identity on its ability to produce great watchmaking complications linked to John Arnold’s heritage and based on three principles: Astronomy, Chronometry and World Time. These complications include tourbillon, true seconds, dual time zones and moon phase. Lastly, the long-lasting power reserves pay homage to Arnold’s marine chronometers, which also benefit from impressive autonomy. Arnold & Son’s twenty or so calibres have been conceived, designed, developed, machined, decorated, assembled, and adjusted by its sister Manufacture, La Joux-Perret. This independence demonstrates the House’s ability to perpetuate John Arnold’s exceptional inventions.

AESTHETICS

Arnold & Son is known for its timepieces with a unique style that can be easily recognized. The movements’ architecture, the continuous pursuit of multiaxial symmetry, and the skillfully crafted dials, often featuring rare gemstones and minerals, are all in line with the brand’s manufactured calibers, ranging from a single barrel to the full range of grande complication calibers.

]]> Ritmo Mundo Reveals New Pegasus Tourbillon – the Brand’s First Ever Tourbillon Model https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/ritmo-mundo-reveals-new-pegasus-tourbillon-the-brands-first-ever-tourbillon-model/ Mon, 26 Aug 2024 19:13:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931271

Compelling Style, Performance, and Value Unite in New Ritmo Mundo Pegasus Tourbillon, One of the World’s Most Affordable Tourbillon Watches Equipped with a Sapphire Crystal Case.

American watch brand Ritmo Mundo has introduced a new tourbillon complication to its Pegasus Collection – the first tourbillon watch model ever released by Ritmo Mundo in the brand’s 22 – year history. The crystal-clear tourbillon watch also upgrades the Pegasus models with a new, full synthetic sapphire crystal case top, designed to take the Pegasus watch collection to even greater heights. The Ritmo Mundo Pegasus Tourbillon retails for $12,900 USD, making it one of the most attainable sapphire case tourbillon watches on the global watch market today.

When Ritmo Mundo revealed the first Pegasus three-hand automatic watch model in February of 2024, the move signaled the L.A.-based watch brand’s intention to step into a new chapter with daring innovations, a bold aesthetic, and elevated product offerings. The sporty and striking Pegasus Tourbillon, with its hand-built tourbillon and sapphire crystal case top, reaffirms the brand’s commitment to excellence, as Ritmo Mundo soars into a new era, leading with disruptive yet attainable watches designed to answer savvy modern collectors’ needs and desires.For those in search of the perfect starter tourbillon watch or edgy everyday timepiece, the Pegasus Tourbillon is a clear winner,” says Ritmo Mundo brand founder Ali Soltani, continuing: “The Ritmo Mundo Pegasus Tourbillon is for all the collectors who were priced out of the market. The Pegasus Tourbillon’s solid build, enticing value, striking design, and undisputed value finally bring that grail tourbillon sapphire watch within reach.”

A Clear Winner – Introducing the Pegasus Tourbillon

With the Pegasus Tourbillon, Ritmo Mundo revisits the eye-catching, beveled case design of the original Automatic model in a 42 mm format, while introducing two key upgrades. First, the Pegasus Tourbillon upgrades the transparent case top to full synthetic sapphire crystal. Secondly, the brand introduces the first-ever tourbillon movement in any Ritmo Mundo collection. The hand-assembled tourbillon movement, with its gold-plated barrel, offers a frequency of 28,800/hour, and a three-day, 72-hour power reserve.

The case bottom remains the ultra-durable and scratch-resistant transparent glass material first featured in the Pegasus automatic. This groundbreaking glass material still stands the test of durability, ranking 7 on the Mohs hardness scale – comparable to many precious, hard-wearing gemstones. The clear, exceptionally durable Pegasus case offers a panoramic view of the tourbillon movement as well as its mineral-reinforced glass mirror dial and metal dial ring, accented in a choice of turquoise, blue, or black. 

The timepiece’s elements are seamlessly assembled layer by layer, with the fully transparent sapphire crystal case top affixed to the mineral-reinforced glass mirror dial and separate transparent crystal case back below by means of stainless-steel screws. The ergonomically engineered case clocks in at 11.5 mm thick.

Built to Wear, Built to Last

Ethereal appearance aside, the durable, scratch-resistant Pegasus Tourbillon shines as an everyday watch. The watch’s luminous, pointer-style hands ensure legibility by day or night. It elevated detailing also includes a crystal crown and a fluorine rubber strap equipped with a 316L stainless steel clasp pin buckle clasp. Pegasus Tourbillon is also corrosion, mold, and moisture-resistant thanks to its sealed back cover, and its 3-day, 72-hour power reserve ensures it is long-wearing.

The Pegasus collection launch marks an inflection point for the long-established L.A.-based watch brand. The company has set its sights on the future and plans to archive much of the preexisting Ritmo Mundo product catalog to focus on modern, innovative, and attainable luxury timepiece collections – leading the way with Pegasus. 

According to Soltani, “The new Pegasus Tourbillon is a testament to Ritmo Mundo’s maturation and development after 22 years in business. As we look to the future – ‘Ritmo Mundo 2.0’ – we are committed to evolving and pushing the limits in our goal to make high-end watchmaking innovations and finishes more accessible.”

About Ritmo Mundo

“RITMO MUNDO,” or “the rhythm of the earth,” captures the essence of Beverly Hills based contemporary watch brand Ritmo Mundo. The U.S. based brand is on a mission to tap into the heartbeat of modern culture and democratize luxury watchmaking – offering daring, innovative, and attainable Swiss and Italian crafted luxury watch designs for discerning collectors.

The Ritmo Mundo brand was founded in 2002 by Rodeo Drive luxury retailer and watch aficionado Ali Soltani, whose vision for a design-forward watch brand with mystique, presence, and universal appeal soon became a reality. Since its founding, Ritmo Mundo watches have been worn by countless celebrities, collectors, and society figures. Ritmo Mundo watches are available at David Orgell in Los Angeles and at select authorized retailers throughout the world. For more information, visit ritmomundo.com.

ABOUT ALI SOLTANI x Ritmo Mundo

Ritmo Mundo watch founder and luxury retail expert Ali Soltani has already lived many lives. Persian born,raised in Beverly Hills, California, and educated at UCLA and Loyola Law School, Soltani began his career as a lawyer specialized in business.

Soltani went on to help his family acquire and operate one of Rodeo Drive’s most venerable longtime luxury retailers, David Orgell – his success leading himto become one of the youngest Presidents of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce in the organization’s history.

Armed with hard-earned business prowess, an enviable network, and wealth of consumer insights gleaned working at one of North America’s leading luxury jewelry andwatch salons, Soltani was perfectly positioned to establish his own watch brand. And so, Ritmo Mundo was born.

Ritmo Mundo means the “rhythm of the world”– a fitting moniker for a global watch brand born in Hollywood and crafted in Switzerland and Italy. Ritmo Mundo is a result of Soltani’s vision to fill an untapped market niche that speaks to a new generation of informed watch lovers in search of compelling timepieces that offer innovation, quality, and value in equal measure.

The brand’s attractive range of fashion-forward products are designed with “watch wardrobing” in mind – offering consumers abroader range of attainable watch styling options to expand their timepiece wardrobes. The brand’s headquarters near the epicenter of Hollywood – together with Soltani’s extensive network off ormer clients and friends –quickly attracted a glittering array of star collectors and fans from the entertainment and sports world.

Old Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor inspired the design of the very first Ritmo Mundo watch, and she went on to become a loyal Ritmo Mundo client.

Other stars whose wrists have sported a Ritmo Mundo watchover the years have included Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Denzel Washington, Michael Strahan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Linsday Lohan, Quincy Jones, President Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Joel McHale, and Samuel L. Jackson, to name just a few.The brand’swatches havealso figuredprominently in film and television, including American Idol, CSI Miami, Snakes on aPlane, Ocean’s Thirteen, and many more.

Ritmo Mundo continues to evolve, refining its vision and purpose – as Soltani looks to stay one beat a head– not following trends, but making them. Soltani continues to be the creative forcebehind the brand, leading Ritmo Mundo into a new era with the Pegasus Collection –with many more new collections to be revealed.

]]> OMEGA will be present at the 37th America  ‘s Cup to cheer on Emirates Team New Zealand https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/omega-will-be-present-at-the-37th-america-s-cup-to-cheer-on-emirates-team-new-zealand/ https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/omega-will-be-present-at-the-37th-america-s-cup-to-cheer-on-emirates-team-new-zealand/#respond Wed, 21 Aug 2024 19:21:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=931295 OMEGA will be present at the 37th America  ‘s Cup to cheer on Emirates Team New Zealand as they strive to defeat their rivals and retain the oldest international sporting trophy.

OMEGA’s partnership with the crew began 30 years ago, during the 1995 America’s Cup, when it collaborated with the legendary Sir Peter Blake, then captain of Team New Zealand.

For the brand with legendary precision, the timing was, once again, perfect: the New Zealanders won the trophy that year, and three times since, in 2000, 2017 and 2021.   

This partnership, which continues and evolves today, has inspired the creation and launch of some of OMEGA’s most impressive watches, such as the Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition unveiled this year, which combines deep black with the vibrant turquoise of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo.

For OMEGA President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann, this relationship is a symbiotic one: “Winning a competition like the America’s Cup requires passion, focus, determination, teamwork and a willingness to embrace the most promising new technologies. These are qualities that we know well, and that are equally essential to watchmaking and sports timing. But beyond these values, we share above all a true friendship.”  

This year, the two opponents will compete on sailboats that literally have wings: high-tech AC75 monohulls that can exceed the crazy speed of 50 knots, or 100 km/h, thanks only to the power of the wind.

Sentiments echoed by Grant Dalton, Managing Director of America’s Cup Events and Emirates Team New Zealand: “To win, a crew needs to be supported by a united team. OMEGA has been an integral part of Team New Zealand for many years, through victory and defeat. We are delighted to be reuniting with the brand for this new adventure here in Barcelona, ​​and to try to make history by becoming the first to win the America’s Cup three times in a row.”

OMEGA is proud to support Emirates Team New Zealand and wishes the entire crew the best of luck in taking on this extraordinary and exciting challenge.

Quite literally, Armand “Mondo” Duplantis is an athlete at the top of his sport. Not only is the Swedish pole vaulter the current World and Olympic champion, but on April 20th, he broke the World Record for an 8th time in his career – setting a new height of 6.24m.

For OMEGA, this extraordinary leap is the perfect moment to introduce a new Seamaster Aqua Terra inspired by the brand ambassador. Crafted in the blue and yellow colours of the Swedish flag, it features a number of exclusive details in celebration of Mondo’s achievements in athletics.

The 41 mm timepiece is presented in stainless steel and is worn on an integrated strap made from blue rubber with neat stitching in yellow, an OMEGA logo, and polished central links that beautifully complement the polished and brushed surfaces of the case.

On the dial, OMEGA has delivered a subtle twist to the signature Aqua Terra style. While the blue surface is given a traditional opaline finish with horizontal stripes, the unique tributes to Mondo include a Seamaster name and quarter hour numbers in yellow. Most notably, the varnished central seconds hand is also in yellow and is crafted with a pole vault inspired shape, featuring Super-LumiNova on top to represent the grip of the pole.

As precision has been critical throughout Mondo’s sporting journey, the watch is further equipped with a Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre, assuring the very height of accuracy, performance, and magnetic-resistance.

Armand Duplantis has been an OMEGA ambassador since 2020. In the four years since then, he has claimed multiple World and European Championships titles, and won his first Olympic Games gold medal in Tokyo. His progressive World Records show the unrelenting commitment he has to his sport, and prove there are always more boundaries to push.

As Official Timekeeper of the Diamond League, OMEGA was at the latest meet in April, proudly measuring the 6.24m jump that Mondo accomplished in Xiamen, China.

]]> Kross Studio Unveils 6 New House of the Dragon Timepiece Collector Sets https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/kross-studio-unveils-6-new-house-of-the-dragon-timepiece-collector-sets/ Mon, 17 Jun 2024 13:23:00 +0000 https://amilcarmagazine.com/?p=930904

Kross Studio Unveils Six New Timepiece Collector Sets Inspired by the Dragons of “House of the Dragon” HBO series.

Kross Studio, renowned for its innovative fusion of fantasy and haute horlogerie, proudly unveils new Collector Sets inspired by the awe-inspiring dragons of the acclaimed HBO series “House of the Dragon.” As the second season of the series premieres on June 16, these exquisite timepieces and dragon egg sculptures offer discerning collectors an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the mythical realm of Westeros. 

The six latest collector sets pay homage to Arrax, Silverwing, Moondancer, Seasmoke, Vermithor and Sunfyre, complementing and completing the dragon inspired series. Previous unique collector set editions from the Kross Studio x House of the Dragon collaboration were dedicated to Balerion (sold out), Viserion, Viserion Ice Dragon (sold out), Drogon (sold out), Rhaegal, Syrax, Caraxès (sold out), Meleys (sold out), Vaghar (sold out), and Vermax (sold out).

Each of the Collector Sets pays homage to a specific dragon from the “Game of Thrones” saga, capturing their unique essence and formidable presence. The main feature of each set is a mesmerizing central floating tourbillon watch, a masterpiece of horological engineering designed by Kross Studio’s founder Marco Tedeschi. The watch and its tourbillon, suspended beneath a sapphire crystal dome, reflects the distinct aesthetic codes of House Targaryen, from its 45mm grade 5 titanium case to its intricate movement.

Complementing the watch is a meticulously crafted dragon egg sculpture in resin and hand-painted by the renowned French workshop Leblon Delienne. Each egg, inspired by the appearance of its corresponding dragon, serves as a nest for the watch and adds an element of fantasy and intrigue to the collection.

“We are thrilled to unveil these new Collector Sets, which represent a culmination of our passion for horlogerie and our deep admiration for the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe,” said Marco Tedeschi. “Each piece is a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling, and we are confident that they will resonate with collectors and fans alike.”

The ultimate Targaryen-inspired timepiece

At the heart of the Game of Thrones Central Floating Tourbillon lies the innovative KS 7’005 movement, a testament to Kross Studio’s dedication to horological advancements. This movement features a world-first, manually wound floating central tourbillon, a mesmerizing complication that seems to defy gravity as it rotates within the watch. The peripheral hour display mechanism adds a touch of futuristic elegance, with hour markers positioned around the edge of the dial instead of the center. This innovative design, combined with the floating tourbillon, provides a captivating view of the intricate mechanics at play within the watch, blurring the lines between technical prowess and artistic expression.

KS 7’005 Caliber

The manual-winding patented floating central tourbillon is designed, crafted, and assembled in Kross Studio’s workshops. As a fundamental characteristic, the main functions of the movement, such as Its energy accumulation, regulation, display, and winding, are concentric and coaxial at the center of the watch. Therefore, the barrel and the regulator provide a power reserve of 120 hours with chronometric performance. This remarkable complication is a testament to the pinnacle of horological expertise, brought to life by the master artisans at Kross Studio Manufacture.

Floating in the skies

The cage of the central floating tourbillon is a visual marvel, marking a patented, world-first achievement. Like a dragon gliding across the heavens looking down from above, the floating central tourbillon’s suspension just below the sapphire crystal dome offers a breathtaking view of the inner workings of the watch beneath it. With the tourbillon and its fixed second wheel levitating above the movement and hands, the construction provides a never-before-seen perspective into the mesmerizing mechanics of the tourbillon. This innovative design feature provides the opportunity to fully admire this horological masterpiece from every angle.

Reading the time

The innovation of the KS 7’005 movement also lies in the peripheral hour display mechanism, achieved by a planetary gear system mounted on two ball bearings, freeing the tourbillon from any obstruction.

Valyrian steel

The watch’s design synthesizes key elements of the fantasy series and its renowned dragons, such as its dial, made of Damasteel®. Reminiscent of Valyrian steel, fans will recognize its striated appearance made up of multiple dark and shimmering layers. The Damascus steel used in the Dragon Central Tourbillon dial is crafted by Damasteel, the same foundry that forged the metal used in the HBO series’ swords.

“Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did” – Daemon Targaryen

The ergonomic, grade 5 titanium or 18-carat pink gold watch case imitates the scales of a dragon through intricate three-dimensional engraving. Furthermore, the Targaryen House sigil, depicting a three-headed dragon breathing flames, is also hand-engraved in the center of the titanium watch case back. Each case back is uniquely identified by the name of the singular dragon that inspired the collector’s set, with only one set dedicated to a single dragon.

“The Dance of the Dragons will soon begin.”

An inextricable, transcendent bond links the Targaryen house’s prestige and its dragons across ages, myth, and memory. As a symbol, for the Targaryens and the people of Westeros, dragons embody the ultimate power and loyalty and inspire awe and fascination. Kross Studio looked to these fearsome creatures’ origins, their eggs, to inspire the collector sets’ unique functional sculptures.

The Dragon Egg Functional Sculpture, designed by Marco Tedeschi, is produced in collaboration with the French workshop Leblon Delienne, long renowned for its incomparable expertise in crafting pop sculptures.

The design was carefully planned down to the smallest detail, inside and out. The outer shape of the eggs was created using a 3D scan of the TV show props. Each resin Dragon Egg has been painstakingly airbrushed and hand-painted to create a unique finish that is wholly individual, inspired by a single dragon.

The egg opens to serve as a nest for the Game of Thrones Central Floating Tourbillon or any timepiece of choice, which can be placed on a cushion supported by two towers inspired by the design of Dragonstone Castle, the ancestral seat of House Targaryen. The base of the stand features seven slots, one for each of the saga’s seven kingdoms. 

The Collection

At the intersection of Haute Horlogerie and fantastical realms, each Game of Thrones Collector Set embodies the essence of Kross Studio. The watch complication is contemporary, seamlessly blending form and function in a universe that captivates the imagination, providing enthusiasts with a unique immersion into the heart of Westeros.

Kross Studio Game of Thrones – House of the Dragon Collector Sets (from CHF 108’000) are available for individual sale at kross-studio.com or through official partners and select authorized retailers. The collection is composed of Balerion (sold out), Viserion, Viserion Ice Dragon (sold out), Drogon (sold out), Rhaegal, Syrax, Caraxès (sold out), Meleys (sold out), Vaghar (sold out), Vermax (sold out), Arrax, Silverwing, Moondancer, Seasmoke, Vermithor and Sunfyre Collector Set. Each Collector Set is a unique piece. 

Episodes of “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon” are available to stream on HBO Max and 4K Ultra HD digital purchase.

]]> Kross Studio Enters the Bat Cave in The Wayne Enterprises Experience in Manhattan https://canada.amilcarmagazine.com/kross-studio-enters-the-bat-cave-in-the-wayne-enterprises-experience-in-manhattan/ Sat, 08 Jun 2024 16:38:00 +0000 https://usa.amilcarmagazine.com/?p=5943

Swiss Watchmaker Kross Studio to Showcase Timepieces and Batman Collector Set during an exclusive experience held by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products and Relevance International.

Swiss watchmaker Kross Studio today announced it will participate in the Wayne Enterprises Experience, a first-of-its-kind project from Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) and Relevance International’s Brand Experience & Partnerships division. This groundbreaking concept immerses customers in a shoppable, story-driven experience supported by an exclusive digital marketplace. As one of the event’s partner luxury brands, Kross Studio will showcase the Swiss design studio’s many creative collaborations with WBDGCP within the immersive, shoppable environment including the 1989 Batmobile desk clock, The Batman tourbillon watch, bat signal watch holder, and DC-themed watch rolls.

Luxury consumers are brought into the world of DC’s Bruce Wayne, the billionaire civilian persona of Batman, via a scripted story that plays out live in a secret New York City location, as well as online through a companion site BruceWayneX.com. The exclusively curated products are inspired by and immersed in the world of Bruce Wayne, who has access to the best of the best of tech, fashion, automobiles, art, multimedia, watercraft, residences, and much more. The event and venue serve as an ideal stage to present Kross Studio watches, such as the KS 06 Central Floating Tourbillon, boasting a classic yet contemporary allure, equipped with the movement created, produced, and meticulously assembled in the workshops of Kross Studio in Switzerland.

While Wayne Enterprises Experience shoppers may access the exclusive website any time, the live experience takes guests on a narrative, actor-guided tour of a luxurious, secret, seven-story Manhattan safehouse owned by Bruce Wayne.

Kross Studio Founder and Creative Director Marco Tedeschi stated: “From the beginning, the goal of our ongoing collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products has been to create highly immersive, collectible timepieces and design objects that invite collectors into the Superhero universe. We are thrilled that Kross Studio’s Batman-themed products have found a home within the Wayne Enterprises Experience, providing enthusiasts the rare opportunity to enter the Batcave and experience the Dark Knight’s gears within an authentic and immersive environment unlike any other.”

Visitors will have the chance to discover and shop the Kross Studio 1989 Batmobile desk clock – a highly detailed batmobile-shaped desk clock that replicates the shape and styling of Tim Burton’s iconic 1989 Batmobile. The clock is a powerful engine, boasting a manual-winding mechanical movement providing a 30-day power reserve.

The Batman Collector Set will also be displayed in the Batcave. An exclusive mix of High Horology, art, and pop culture limited to 10 pieces as enigmatic as the character, each set is comprised of the Batman Central Tourbillon watch and the luminous Bat-Signal sculpture. The wristwatch encapsulates the essence of Batman, featuring dark styling, an ultra-precise movement, and the iconic Bat-Signal representation commonly used to summon the superhero. In this design, the Bat Signal serves as a canvas for a central tourbillon cage shaped like the Bat emblem. The watch is equipped with the in-house KS 7’001 manual winding movement boasting a 5-day power reserve.

In Bruce Wayne’s dressing room, visitors will also be able to discover the latest novelty from Kross Studio, the KS 06 central floating tourbillon watch with a black frosted dial: an eclectic piece that perfectly harmonizes with Bruce Wayne’s style, which is known for its blend of sophistication and understated elegance. The Swiss Manufacture successfully preserves all its distinctive codes in a new 42mm case with integrated lugs, thus offering a more traditional aesthetic and innovation without compromise, from the movement to the bracelet. Housed under a crystal dome that contributes to Kross Studio’s renown, the central tourbillon appears to float in the air, ingeniously blending horological traditions with ingenuity.

The live Wayne Enterprises Experience will run from June 3 to June 10, while its companion site BruceWayneX.com is open now.
