Adorned with skulls, reptiles, and roads of fire, the limited edition Montegrappa Chaos watch is an extension of its popular pen line of the same name, also designed by Stallone.

“Montegrappa is a brand that I have always respected. They are artisans, so it has been a lot of fun working together,” comments Sylvester Stallone. “For me, the Chaos is a work of art, a special watch that we’re excited to show everyone.”

The Chaos automatic analogue wristwatch is handmade in northern Italy by Montegrappa’s skilled artisans. Designed as a big, bold watch, the Chaos timepiece’s most striking feature is the case, fashioned from a choice of silver or gold, with a black PVD-coated steel back. The signature skull-and-serpents motif includes an engraved skull on the winding crown, and is sure to make an impression.

“Without a doubt, the Montegrappa Chaos watch is a one of a kind piece with an attitude and a style all its own, much like its designer,” comments Montegrappa CEO Giuseppe Aquila. “Montegrappa is pleased to continue collaborating with Mr. Stallone as our brand ambassador. With a popular line of pens, cufflinks, and even a crystal inkwell, it was only natural that we introduce an exclusive timepiece as part of the Chaos line.”
