Central Floating Tourbillon Watches

The KS 05 from Kross Studio is a Groundbreaking Timepiece

— June 8, 2023 — Art & Design
The KS 05 Timepiece Collection is a new line of luxury watches from Kross Studio that features the world’s first central floating tourbillon movement. The KS 05 watches have a sleek and minimalist design that showcases the intricate mechanics of the caliber KS 7’005, a manual-winding movement with a 5-day power reserve and a co-axial barrel, tourbillon cage, and balance wheel. The watches also have a domed crystal that offers a panoramic view of the movement and the dial, which is crafted from precious materials such as aventurine glass or natural stones.

The KS 05 Timepiece Collection is available in three variations: Grade 5 titanium, 18-karat red gold, and diamond-set versions. Each variant is limited to 10 numbered pieces, making them exclusive and rare collector’s items. The prices for the KS 05 watches range from about $96,000 to $150,000, depending on the material and embellishment. The watches can be purchased at Kross Studio's official store.
