Bruce Wayne would like to own one of the 10 watch sets made by Kross Studio.
The Batman movie is accompanied by a number of Warner Bros.-licensed products, ranging from Lanvin and EleVen by Venus Williams clothing to Carhartt hoodies, Puma sneakers, Funko Pops, and more. Among the Emilie Heathe nail polish, Emilie Heathe figures and luxury timepieces, a luxury watch is likely to be the most expensive.
In an official collaboration with Swiss design studio and manufacturer Kross Studio, the Batman Tourbillon Watch is retailing at $100,000, a price worthy of Bruce Wayne.
An reimagined Bat Signal is featured in the new Robert Pattinson film, which is scheduled for release on March 4.
A functional, light-up aluminum sculpture of the Bat Signal is also included with the black-and-red timepiece, which is available to purchase as well. In a specially made wooden box, the two pieces combine to make up the Batman Collector Set, of which only 10 are being produced.
Two out of ten collectors’ sets have already been pre-sold, according to Marco Tedeschi, founder and creative director of Kross Studio.
With a five-day power reserve and a water resistance of 30 meters, the 45mm hand-wound watch has an impressive specification. In addition to featuring a one-revolution-per-minute tourbillon in the center, a bat emblem appears on the louvered tourbillon cage, which is very rare in tourbillon watches. In order to combat gravity’s effects on a watch’s accuracy, a tourbillon is a rotating, caged mechanism. There are 283 parts in the watch, each hand-made and assembled in Switzerland. The watch is powered by Kross Studio’s in-house developed and produced caliber KS 7’000.
With the watch, you will find three interchangeable straps: a leather strap embroidered with the DC superhero’s chest armor pattern, a black rubber strap with black stitching, and a red rubber strap with red stitching.
Using a D-Ring on the case, the wearer adjusts the time by pressing a button on the edge which reads “Time Set” while turning the D-Ring in either direction.
Nearly 13 inches tall is the companion piece of art.
Kross Studio is collaborating with Warner Bros. Consumer Products for the fourth time. In 1989, Tim Burton directed Batman, Tedeschi created a Batmobile desk clock, which Tedeschi calls his favorite Batman movie, a Space Jam collector set, and DC Comics watch rolls. In the past three years, Tedeschi has also collaborated with Warner Bros. He made a Space Jam desk clock and a series of DC Comics watch rolls. Also last year, Kross made a Death Star wristwatch authorized by Lucasfilm for $150,000.
A collection of four watch rolls screen-printed with the likenesses of characters from The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves, is also being released alongside the premiere of the movie, starring Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis, John Turturro, Jeffrey Wright and Colin Farrell. The two are dedicated to Batman, the other to Catwoman, and the other to the Riddler.
A snap-top closure, a black microfiber interior fabric, and removable pillow inserts make these bags a great buy at $250 each.
