Kross Studio celebrates The Batman film with yet another collector set


Taking inspiration from the Bat-Signal this time, the 10-piece collector set offers a tourbillon and your very own illuminated Bat-Signal art piece!

February 22, 2022: In another collaboration with Warner Bros., Swiss watch-art maker Kross Studio has launched two new projects to celebrate the upcoming film “The Batman,” including a new 10-piece, limited-numbered “The Batman” Collector set and a new series of “The Batman”-themed watch rolls. 

The collector set, priced at a very deserving US$ 100,000, includes “The Batman” Tourbillon watch and an illuminated Bat-Signal functional art piece. After the Batmobile Clock, this is the second product by Kross Studio inspired by the Batman.

The tourbillon embodies Batman, with its dark styling, ultra-precise movement, and the Bat Signal representation famously used to summon the superhero. Here, it is a canvas for a central tourbillon cage in the form of a Bat emblem.

The watch was created with a new version of Kross Studio’s in-house caliber KS 7’000: the mechanical hand-wound 3 Hz caliber KS 7'001, with a 5-day power reserve. Placed atop the central tourbillon’s oversized cage, the miniature Bat-Signal’s louvered surface allows light to filter through and enables glimpses of the regulator below and makes one revolution per minute.

The timepiece has a different reading of hours and minutes. The hour hand is affixed to a peripheral display mechanism orbiting 360° around the tourbillon. The minutes are displayed on a disk, making one revolution per hour. A domed sapphire crystal arcs over the dial in a low profile that complements the rounded edges of the black 45mm titanium case. Altogether, the movement and watch components total 283 parts, each hand-made and assembled by Kross Studio in Gland, Switzerland.

The unique D-ring crown, found on the case back, and the “Time Set” push button, placed at 3 o’clock on the edge of the watch, maintain a low-profile to ensure a more comfortable wear than a conventional crown while also improving performance with a faster, easier winding and time-setting experience.

The barrel’s mainspring is wound by lifting the D-Ring found on the case back and turning it like a key. To set the time, the wearer simply presses the “Time Set” push button located at 3 o'clock while turning the case back D-ring in either direction.

The tourbillon’s watch straps are also easy to swap via Kross Studio’s ingenious interchangeable strap system, allowing the removal and change of the strap with a simple ‘click’ of its quick-release button. This enables an easy switch to any one of the three included strap options: a black calf leather strap embossed with the pattern of Batman’s armor, a black rubber strap with black stitching, or the red rubber strap with red stitching.

The Bat Signal plays such a key role in “The Batman” Tourbillon that it was only fitting for Kross Studio to include a functional Bat Signal art piece as an integral element of each collector set. Each timepiece is delivered alongside a functional Bat Signal that illuminates, further immersing the collector into the universe of Gotham City. It also hides a dedicated space on his backside to safely store The Batman tourbillon or any other watch.

“The Batman” Collector sets, and “The Batman” collectible watch rolls, are available for sale at kross-studio.ch, or through official partners and select authorized retailers.
