Kross Studio Drops 'Star Wars' Tie Fighter Advanced X1 Watch Winder
Keep your automatic watches topped up in Darth Vader’s personal Tie Fighter.
Kross Studio has followed up its debut Star Wars collaboration with a watch winder worthy of a Sith Lord.
The Kross Studio x Star Wars Tie Fighter Advanced X1 watch winder is a desktop reminder of Darth Vader’s ride of choice that can also store and keep any automatic watch fully wound.
The Swiss studio released a $150,000 USD Collector’s Set including a Death Star-themed Central Tourbillon along with Kyber Crystals movie props used in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, earlier this year.
The battery-powered winder is made of black anodized aluminum and weighs in at 4kg, while rotations and wait times can be configured via Bluetooth and a dedicated smartphone app.
It features an infrared sensor to detect the presence of a watch, allowing it to sit in standby for up to two years if no watch is present, while the battery hatch is accessed using a stainless steel “Galactic Empire” key.
The Star Wars Tie Fighter Advanced X1 watch winder is being offering by Kross Studio for a limited time, priced $2,500 USD.
