Kross Studio Introduces a New Connected Accessory: The Sleek Aluminum Watch Winder

NEW YORK | Gland, Switzerland (September 14, 2022) -

After the tremendous success of the Darth Vader-inspired Tie Advanced x1 watch winder unveiled in October 2021, Kross Studio introduces a new object of desire: a connected, Kross Studio-branded watch winder with clean lines and a sleek design. It is as potent as its predecessor and blends functionality, design, and great performance. The Kross Studio watch winder is outfitted with cutting-edge technology, including a motor from the most recent generation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a specialised smartphone application.

As with other Kross Studio products, functionality is a top priority. This one is comprised of two components: the winding motor and its support, which can be readily removed for storage when winding a watch. The support, crafted from brushed metal, was created by Kross Studio and will complement the most fashionable environments.

The winding engine, one of the most powerful currently available, harnesses the force of its tremendous movement to sustain the mechanism of any automated mechanical watch contained inside the winding capsule. It has an infrared sensor that recognises the presence of a watch and activates the winder accordingly. When no watch is present, the gadget enters a power-saving dormant mode.

The Bluetooth interface gives the owner access to all of the watch's characteristics through an application for smartphones, Kross Watch Winder, which is available on the App Store and Google Play. Thus, the user may establish appropriate parameters for their automatic watch model, including fine-tuning the rotation direction, rotation duration, and load management.

The watch winder for Kross Studio was designed in-house by Studio engineers. It is comprised of 26 parts, weighs 2kg, and measures 13cm in length, 15cm in width, and 21.5cm in height. As with all of Kross Studio's accomplishments, even the tiniest details have been given special consideration, reflecting the design's passion and competence.

The Kross Studio watch winder (1,750 CHF) is an item targeted at design aficionados, watch collectors, and owners of mechanical watches who desire to maintain them carefully. It will be available on kross-studio.com and through authorised shops beginning in October.
