Description

Retails for 120,000 Swiss Francs, which is about $129,000 USD. (No joke.) Up for pre-order on their website.

Revealed on May 4, 2022.

Limited edition of 10 for this collectors set.

They teamed up with EFX on the screen-accurate ship.

"It took 90 hours to make each of the ten pieces that are based on the starship and each one is a unique piece," notes their website. The watch has 220 parts.

Inspiration
One of the most enigmatic characters in the Star Wars galaxy has inspired Kross Studio's latest creation, in collaboration with Lucasfilm. The Swiss design studio is proud to reveal a new and limited edition of ten Boba Fett-inspired collector sets, each complete with a numbered, manual wound Boba Fett-inspired central Tourbillon timepiece and a watch display by EFX, inspired by Boba Fett's famed starship.

The Galaxy's most famous Bounty Hunter
Boba Fett captured the world's imagination in the original Star Wars film saga as a fascinating and mysterious bounty hunter. The series The Book of Boba Fett, available to stream on Disney+, draws fans back into his world of high-stakes, thrilling adventures.

Exclusive timepiece
Kross Studio showcases the KS 7'000 mechanical complication within a 45mm grade 5 titanium case, coated with chocolate PVD. The clarity and symmetry of the Boba Fett-inspired Tourbillon dial belies the complexity of its manual-wound central tourbillon movement, which is composed of 220 parts. Each of the ten numbered timepieces was designed and assembled within the Kross Studio atelier in Gland, Switzerland.

Incredible details
Kross Studio engineers reached another level by undertaking the challenge of manufacturing a miniature starship on its landing platform at the top of the tourbillon's cage. Composed of eight pieces, each miniature tourbillon resembling Boba Fett's firespray starship has been produced at Kross Studio and manufactured in CNC machines.

Expert craftsmanship
Each piece has been meticulously engraved and hand painted to mimic the weathered appearance of Boba Fett's ship as it appears in Bespin at Cloud City in the Star Wars film saga. The level of detail is incredible, and it highlights the unique savoir-faire perpetuated by artisans in Switzerland. It took 90 hours to make each of the ten pieces that are based on the starship and each one is a unique piece.

Reading time
Kross Studio has employed a unique peripheral format for reading the hours and minutes through a planetary gear system that orbits 360 degrees around the tourbillon. A 12-factor gear ratio allows the planetary minutes system to empower the progression of the hours. In order to optimize the movement's efficiency as much as possible, the hour and minute display system is fixed on two very wide and high-precision ball bearings. The hour hand is inspired by Boba Fett's jetpack and the minute hand by its rocket, two iconic items that the bounty hunter carries permanently.

Ingenious functionalities
For Kross Studio, the timepiece design required an equal balance of ergonomic considerations and improved user experience. 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.

Interchangeable Straps
Cleverly hidden quick-release strap buttons on the underside of the case also help preserve the timepiece's clean lines, a handy feature which allows quick strap changes from the included green polyamide strap embossed with the pattern of Boba FettTM's chest armor to either of the other included straps: the chocolate color calf leather strap and the black rubber strap. To optimize durability and comfort, each included strap has been reinforced with black rubber inlay.

EFX
Kross Studio worked with EFX to create ten unique watch displays that would fit the Boba Fett collector set. The company is known worldwide as an exceptional manufacturer of extremely high quality "screen accurate" limited edition prop replicas and collectibles from favorite films, television, video games and other entertainment media.
It made perfect sense to take inspiration from Boba Fett's iconic starship and to make a watch display that can carry the Boba Fett Tourbillon in its cockpit while being displayed as an art piece in a select few collectors' rooms.

A functional art piece
Each EFX Boba Fett's starship watch display is the same scale as the actual filming model as seen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. They are made with an aluminum and acrylic substructure with the detail parts cast in resin. Each detail piece is individually cast from a master made from the same model kit parts used to make the screen used prop and then carefully finished and painted by hand. The parts of the EFX Boba FettTM's starship-inspired watch display were developed with a thorough review of the screen used prop.
The starship-inspired watch display comes affixed on a platform resembling a ship landing pad and made of wood in Kross Studio ateliers.

An extremely limited-edition Collector Set
Like the Death Star Ultimate Collector Set before it, this 10-piece series of Boba Fett Collector Sets will never be produced again, joining the pantheon of the galaxy's most highly sought Star Wars collectibles.
Each of the 10 limited-edition sets includes a numbered Boba Fett-inspired Tourbillon watch and a Boba Fett starship-inspired watch display made by EFX.
