Official collaboration watch with Lucasfilm

　Cross Studio is a watch brand with a manufacturing base near Lake Geneva in Switzerland. They have just announced the Death Star Tourbillon Watch, a unique timepiece inspired by the world of the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It should be noted that this is an official collaboration with Lucasfilm.

　This watch is a limited edition model with only 10 pieces produced worldwide, and its central tourbillon and large case, which resembles the container used to transport the "Kyber Crystal" used in the film, have captured the hearts of avid fans.

　In addition, kyber crystals are built into the core of the fictional weapon "Lightsaber" that appears in the "Star Wars" series, and have the property of resonating with "The Force." The case of the Death Star Tourbillon watch is set with a capsule containing an original kyber crystal (with a certificate of authenticity) that was actually used in the filming of the movie.

　The orange containers were used by the Imperial Army to safely transport Kyber crystals, and the faithful reproduction of these watch cases is a must-see. Each container is made of over 700 parts, is 1.2 meters long, and is made of wood and aluminum, and is hand-painted.

　The interior is designed with nine compartments, three of which contain removable capsules containing the watch itself, three bracelets, and the original Kyber crystal, while the remaining six are protected by covers and can be added by fans to their collections.

　The 45mm diameter watch case, water-resistant to 30m, is crafted from grade 5 titanium with a black DLC coating. The tourbillon carriage at the center of the dial, which rotates once per minute, represents the northern hemisphere of the Death Star. The green superlaser cannon on the surface represents the power of the kyber crystal. The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal dome.

　The hand-wound mechanical movement, made up of 203 parts, has a power reserve of approximately five days. The hands are mounted to rotate 360 ​​degrees around the tourbillon. The hour hand is shaped like an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, a formidable force for the Rebels, while the minute hand is shaped like a Super Star Destroyer, the most powerful ship in the Imperial military, capable of carrying over 38,000 Stormtroopers.

　Push-pieces built into the case at 3 and 4 o'clock replace the traditional crown and are used to set the time. The back of the case features a central ring for winding the movement.

　The movement's gears, which can be seen through the crystal thanks to its see-through design, are modeled after the emblem of the Imperial fleet. The push button between 3 and 4 o'clock is engraved with "TIME SET," and the button for changing the strap is engraved with "PUSH TO RELEASE," both in Aurebesh, the most common language in the Star Wars galaxy.

　The watch comes with three straps that can be easily changed without tools: one made of cowhide leather and two made of rubber, two of which are embossed with the Death Star's surface. The Death Star Tourbillon Watch was released with a price tag of US$150,000.
