Variously-hued Leather Watch Rolls
Rolls of Kross Studio Classic Colors Watches
Kross Studio has introduced a new collection of traditional leather watch rolls in an assortment of hues. Each roll provides the optimal combination of protection, upmarket materials, timeless design, and practical usefulness. Vegetable-tanned leather covers with contrast stitching are available in a variety of colours, from neutrals (tan, grey, black) and classic tones (navy blue, green, gold, baby pink) to more saturated colours (royal blue, orange, red, yellow, turquoise).
Thanks to a detachable cushion insert, fine microfiber lining, and carefully padded, stitched, and panel-reinforced case walls, the thoroughly tested rolls provide unrivalled protection and shockproofing for any timepiece or smart watch, at home or abroad. The 'legs' on the bottom of each roll allow them to be stored discretely in a carry-on or dresser drawer, as well as proudly exhibited and standing erect.
Rolling DC Comics Watches
Kross Studio and Warner Bros. Consumer Products worked on a series of $250 USD watch rolls inspired by DC super heroes. The collection includes four various watch roll designs, each of which features an iconic DC superhero: Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and the Flash.
Rolling Star Wars Watch
Kross Studio and Lucasfilm Ltd. have also collaborated on a range of innovative useful collectibles inspired by Star WarsTM.
The collection provides six various watch roll designs, each portraying a famous rebel or imperial figure from the original space adventure, for separate sale. Those who buy the whole set of six will get a Yoda-themed extra watch roll.
Fandom-Inspired Collaborations & Collector Sets
Boba Fett Collection
Kross Studio returns with a new Lucasfilm Ltd. collaboration, this time honouring the renowned Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett and the mysterious bounty hunter's Disney+ series, "The Book of Boba FettTM." Each of the 10 limited-edition Boba Fett-inspired collector sets includes a numbered, manually wound titanium central tourbillon timepiece as well as a replica starship-inspired watch display by EFX.
The tourbillon cage serves as a landing platform for a tiny Boba Fett firespray spaceship as it appears in Bespin's Cloud City in the Star Wars film series. The hour hand was inspired by the legendary jetpack of Boba Fett, while the minute hand was inspired by its rocket.
Each EFX Boba FettTM spacecraft watch display has been constructed to the exact size as the genuine film model from "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes BackTM" and is mounted on a hardwood platform from Kross Studio that mimics a ship landing pad.
Alain Silberstein Lotus Tourbillon
A Kross Studio and Alain Silberstein collection set is the present of a lifetime for design enthusiasts. The renowned designer sought the Swiss design studio for assistance in realising his high horological vision: a lotus-inspired titanium watch that embodies the spirit of the holy Asian flower and is presented as a one-of-a-kind totemic art item. There will only ever be eighteen Lotus timepiece collector sets produced.
A titanium lotus blossom that seems fragile floats over the tourbillon cage and central regulator of the renowned Kross Studio KS 7'000 movement. The fleeting, holy lotus blossom serves as a reminder that every moment is priceless. Kross Studio's creative technological embellishments, such as the peripheral hour and minute display and a smart and intuitive D-ring winder on the case back, enhance Silberstein's distinctive strong graphic aesthetic, which is skillfully applied throughout the clock. Silberstein's aesthetic language is also evident in the totemic watch casing that completes this collector's collection; it is an utilitarian art piece created specifically for this partnership. The Lotus Tourbillon is housed in a chamber completely incorporated into the yellow cube, between a blue triangle and a red square.
Batman Collectible Set
Kross Studio, Warner Bros Consumer Products, and DC Comics have partnered to create the definitive Collector Set for "The Batman" fans. Each "The Batman" Collector Set contains a "The Batman" Tourbillon watch and an art piece inspired by the Bat-Signal that acts as both a light and a watch holder.
For these limited-edition collector sets, Kross designed a premium titanium timepiece inspired by the Bat-signal. The Bat-Signal emblem revolves because to its location above the centre tourbillon cage, which also rotates. The clock (or any other wristwatch) may be concealed under the Bat-Signal artwork and working light by Kross Studio.
