Death Star watch and kyber crystal for extreme Star Wars fans

Kross Studio have collaborated with Lucasfilm to create an official, stunning and extremely expensive Death Star watch.

There are only 10 of these $150,000 watches in existence, and each one comes with a screen-used kyber crystal prop. It is the first time that these authentic kyber crystal props have been released to the public.

Kyber crystals were the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story conflict, the power source for the Death Star’s planet-killing superlaser.

The Swiss design studio has also made wonderfully detailed armoured transport crates to hold and display your hard-won crystals.

Here’s what Kross say about the Death Star watch project

Kross Studio took up the challenge of the central tourbillon – a mechanical complication honoring the prominent Death Star. Featured in a 45 mm black DLC coated grade 5 titanium case, the captivating Death Star-inspired Tourbillon cage makes one revolution per minute. On the surface of the Death Star-inspired Tourbillon, a green superlaser cannon stands reminiscent of the space station’s kyber crystal enabled power.

The Death Star-inspired Tourbillon watch itself tells us a great story of passion, craftsmanship and advanced technology. Notable technical innovations are highlighted such as the house-developed manual-winding mechanical movement that delivers a robust 5-day power reserve. The hands have been affixed to a peripheral display that orbits 360 degrees around the tourbillon. A traditional crown system has been replaced by an ingenious, inset push-button system. Kross Studio developed a D-ring shaped crown on the case back for winding the watch, stowed out of sight to help maintain the timepiece’s sleek, space-age styling. These clean lines are also preserved by cleverly hiding quick-release buttons on the underside of the case. This practical feature will doubtless be welcomed by collectors, allowing a quick change of the straps from the included calfskin leather strap to either of the two other included rubber straps.
