Unveiled on the occasion of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" movie release, this collector set is the firstborn of our collaboration with one of the world's leading toy and board game companies, Hasbro. The 10-piece limited edition collector set includes a Kross Studio central floating tourbillon watch and Transformers-inspired functional sculpture.
This is the first time a watchmaking manufacturer has created a piece inspired by the Transformers universe. Since its inception in the 1980s, the franchise has been a crowd-pleaser, enjoying unwavering enthusiasm from a demanding and dedicated community engaged by the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons in movies, TV shows, comic books, innovative toys, and digital media.
To pay tribute to this universe and its nearly 40-year legacy, Kross Studio drew inspiration from key elements of the franchise as depicted in Steven Caple's film, such as the Mechatron green, Cybertronix language, Maximal faction emblem, and engravings as seen in the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts movie.
The watch is equipped with the in-house KS 7'005 movement, a central floating tourbillon that is both a visual marvel and a technical wonder, developed and patented by Kross Studio.
With the tourbillon and its fixed second wheel levitating above the movement and hands, the design provides a never-before-seen perspective into the mesmerizing mechanics of the tourbillon.
The hours and minutes are displayed in a unique peripheral format made possible by a planetary gear system that orbits 360° around the tourbillon. A 12-factor gear ratio allows the planetary system to empower the progression of the hours.
Adding to this innovation, the hour-and-minute display system is fixed on two broad, high-precision ball bearings designed to optimize the movement's efficiency as much as possible.
Green Super-LumiNova® has been carefully applied to the hour hand bearing the Maximal emblem, to the minute track of the rehaut, and to the center of the indexes. The grade 5 titanium dial affixed to the fixed hour wheel has been meticulously adorned with one of the visual pillars of the film, the Inca murals depicting the Maximals' existence on Earth.
The circular 45mm case in satin-finished grade 5 titanium housing this exceptional movement has been engraved and filled with black lacquer, intensifying the immersion into the visual universe of the film. The words "Time Set" are engraved in Cybertronix language and filled with Mechatron Green lacquer on the time-setting pusher. The entire scene unfolds beneath a sapphire crystal dome, ensuring the protection of the central tourbillon.
On the watch's case back, the Autobots icon takes center stage on the winding and time-setting D-ring key, surrounded by Inca representations of the Maximals.
Winding the watch and setting the time are effortlessly achieved using the "D-ring crown" on the case back and the "Time Set" push button, strategically positioned at 3 o'clock along the watch's edge. This system not only maintains design symmetry and enhances comfort compared to a traditional crown, but it also facilitates quicker winding, adding a practical touch to the overall experience.
The Transformers Central Floating Tourbillon comes with two sets of straps. One is made of calf leather with green stitches, and the other is in black rubber. The straps can be easily changed thanks to our interchangeable strap system, facilitated by two quick-release buttons conveniently placed on the underside of the case, allowing for seamless customization based on individual preferences.
To open the Airazor object, pressure is applied to the sculpture's head, enabling it to deploy its wings and activate a lever system, and the watch emerges, greenlit under a Mechatron LED light. The same pressure on the sculpture head enables the sculpture's closure. Kross Studio artisans crafted the detailed and lifelike sculpture in polyresin.
For the first time, Hasbro has opened the doors of its product development department to a licensed partner to develop an exclusive collaboration and the creation of a one-of-a-kind collector's item dedicated to the ten Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Collector Sets.
The functional sculpture included with the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Collector Set is a reproduction of a major enigmatic element from the movie, created in honor of the Maximal Airazor.
In the film, this Airazor artifact is presented as a museum art piece that has kept a well-guarded, precious secret for thousands of years. In this Kross Studio x Hasbro collector set, the Airazor artifact conceals an equally precious object: the Kross Studio Transformers: Rise of the Beasts central tourbillon timepiece.
