Kross Studio unveils a limited-edition Collectors Set inspired by the world of Harry Potter.

ross Studio, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP), presents its most magical Collector Set to date, inspired by the world of Harry Potter. Within the Harry Potter Central Floating Tourbillon watch, four young wizards levitate around the iconic central floating tourbillon, all in a design inspired by the Hogwarts clock tower.

The functional art piece that defines Kross Studio’s Collector Sets takes the form of a music box, playing one of the most recognizable melodies of all time, Hedwig’s Theme. Limited to ten pieces, this Collector Set is sure to captivate both high watchmaking collectors and devoted wizarding world fans alike.

The Harry Potter Central Floating Tourbillon evokes the magic of a Quidditch match, the legendary sport played at Hogwarts, where a seeker from each house competes to catch the Golden Snitch.

The four characters, subtly attached to the tourbillon, complete a full rotation every minute above the watch movement. Seemingly floating mid-air, Harry Potter for Gryffindor, Cho Chang for Ravenclaw, Cedric Diggory for Hufflepuff, and Draco Malfoy for Slytherin engage in a fierce battle, flying on their brooms in pursuit of the Golden Snitch.

Each character, measuring 2.79mm height and 6.09mm length is crafted in 18-karat gold, meticulously engraved and hand-painted. This craftsmanship reveals the finest details of their faces and Quidditch uniforms, down to the broomstick. This dynamic scene, integrated into the central floating tourbillon, can be admired from every angle under a sapphire crystal dome, revealing an astonishing richness of detail.

The watch case’s timeless yet resolutely modern aesthetic perfectly aligns with the bold spirit and understated elegance of Harry Potter. Like something straight out of a spellbook, its ingenious winding system, centered on the back of the 42mm case, seems like the result of a magical formula, capable of captivating even the most erudite wizard.

At the heart of this exclusive timepiece lies the KS 7’006 central floating tourbillon movement, a hand-wound marvel composed of 229 meticulously designed, decorated, and assembled components by the artisans of Kross Studio’s manufacture. The watch’s primary functions—winding, energy storage, regulation, and display—are all cleverly arranged at the center. This unique design allows the barrel to occupy nearly the entire movement surface, providing an impressive 120-hour power reserve while maintaining exceptional chronometric performance. The tourbillon, its balance wheel, and fixed seconds wheel are elevated above the movement and hands, floating over the barrel. This patented technical innovation offers an unprecedented perspective on the watch’s intricate mechanics.

Another breakthrough of the KS 7’006 movement is its peripheral hour display mechanism, achieved through a planetary gear system mounted on two ball bearings, ensuring an unobstructed view of the tourbillon. The Harry Potter Central Floating Tourbillon hands are gold-plated and filled with black Superluminova®.

The Harry Potter Central Floating Tourbillon components are decorated in line with traditional watchmaking standards. A testament to this craftsmanship is the barrel bridge, featuring hand-beveled angles, stretched edges, perlage on recesses, and Geneva stripes adorning its top surface. This exceptional level of finishing, executed entirely in-house, is made possible by Kross Studio’s dedicated decoration department.

The Harry Potter Central Floating Tourbillon watch’s dial consists of two parts. The flange, made of 18-karat gold, features an opaline sandblasted finish, unveiling a gold railway track. Fixed to the hour wheel, the second part of the dial, also in 18-karat gold, is black-grained, with gold Roman numerals—a tribute to the Hogwarts clock tower.

Alongside the Harry Potter Central Floating Tourbillon, an equally mesmerizing art piece takes shape: a music box playing three parts of the legendary Hedwig’s Theme. True to its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, Kross Studio collaborated with the renowned manufacture Reuge to bring this extraordinary piece to life. Enchanted Flight captures the essence of the wizarding world, infusing the magic of Harry Potter into this extraordinary creation. Powered entirely by a mechanical movement, the music box produces sound through the vibration of blades lifted by the cylinder pins, with over 1,200 pins on the cylinder and a 72-note clavier. Each movement is unique, as every music box is carefully assembled by hand, ensuring a one-of-a-kind experience. A true technical and artistic masterpiece, showcasing the exceptional savoir-faire of both Reuge and Kross Studio.

With this unprecedented Collector Set, Kross Studio celebrates the timeless magic of Harry Potter, offering collectors a unique experience where every detail tells an enchanting story.

The Harry Potter Collector Set (CHF 120’000) is a limited edition of 10 pieces. It is available at kross-studio.com, through official partners, and at select authorized retailers.
