Kross Studio The Batman Watch Roll
Kross Studio The Batman Watch Roll
Kross Studio and Warner Bros. Consumer Products present a collection of “THE BATMAN” inspired watch rolls.
The Swiss Studio’s new collection features four distinct collectible designs inspired by iconic characters of the newly released movie.
Kross Studio and Warner Bros. Consumer Products continue their ongoing partnership with a new collaboration celebrating “The Batman” film. The new collection of watch rolls, each sold separately, features four distinct representations of iconic film characters from the movie “The Batman”: Batman (2 designs), Catwoman, and The Riddler.
Each model is crafted of genuine leather and comes screen-printed with a character’s striking likeness. Kross Studio designed each watch roll with unique accents and complementary colors inspired by the film character represented, with screen prints and contrast stitching in red for Batman editions, blue for the Catwoman option, or green for the Riddler model.
The watch roll remains safely straight thanks to two reinforcements placed under the case. Snap top closures flip wide open to accommodate any style of watch, cushioned on a removable pillow insert. Inside, high-quality black microfiber fabric and robust wood and metal padding cradles the watch secured within and effectively prevents scratches and damage to the dial and band or strap. The position of the watch once in the case is also well thought out, so that if the case were to fall, the dial would not be damaged.
A co-branded patch stitched to the watch roll flap attests to each product’s authenticity and an included instruction card with QR code directs the owner to a registration page to access the digital user manual and to activate the 3-year extended warranty.
The new watch rolls are part of The Batman X Kross Studio collaboration, which debuts back in March 2022 with the launch of the “The Batman” Collector Set, composed of a central tourbillon watch and a functional sculpture inspired by the Dark Knight and its universe.

The Batman
From Warner Bros. Pictures comes Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City’s vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne. Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies—Alfred (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)— amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), Oz/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City. Reeves (“The Planet of the Apes” franchise) directed from a screenplay by Reeves & Peter Craig, based on characters from DC. Batman was created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. Dylan Clark (the “Planet of the Apes” films) and Reeves produced the film, with Michael E. Uslan, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo and Simon Emanuel serving as executive producers. Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a 6th & Idaho/Dylan Clark Productions Production, a Matt Reeves Film, “The Batman.”

Vision
"Kross Studio emerged from my desire to create contemporary complication watches, seamlessly blending form with function, all the while respecting the fundamental codes of watchmaking. My creations go beyond the simple measurement of time. They are at the center of universes or collaborations that convey emotions, revive memories, and captivate the imagination. That’s my concept of Functional Art.”
Marco Tedeschi
Design
The design of each of our movements is based on an innovative idea. Concurrently, the casing is crafted in a minimalist style, with every contour intentionally designed to improve functionality.
This approach gives birth to a unique collection of complication watches, available in limited editions or tailor-made to satisfy the desires of the most discerning collectors.
Manufacture
KROSS STUDIO CREATIVITY IS POSSIBLE THANKS TO ITS INTEGRATED PRODUCTION.
All our movements and watch cases are designed, manufactured, decorated, and assembled in our factory in Gland. This independence allows us to materialize our creativity without limits. We even produce some of our art piece components.
Movements
The movements conceived and crafted in our workshops reflect our desire to create contemporary complication watches. These pieces are designed differently, standing out in the watchmaking universe, particularly in the realm of mechanical movements, while addressing an inherent inconvenience: the frequent manual winding they require.
The inception of our first born caliber, the KS 7’000, marked a paradigm shift, aiming to create a mechanical movement with an exponential power reserve. Departing from conventional norms, the KS 7’000 reimagines movement design, placing main functions concentrically and coaxially at the center of the watch.
Featuring an oversized barrel and balance wheel, seamlessly integrated tourbillon cage, and streamlined construction eliminating unnecessary components like the gear train, the KS 7’000 achieves a remarkable 120-hour power reserve while maintaining chronometric performance. Crafted meticulously in our workshops, utilizing CNC machines and artisanal finishing, each component reflects our commitment to excellence. Expanding our horological repertoire, the KS 7’001 introduces innovative time display mechanisms, exemplifying our commitment to pushing boundaries.
Moreover, our patented floating central tourbillon, the KS 7’005, elevates movement aesthetics, offering a captivating perspective on its mechanics. Driven by a passion for innovation and craftsmanship, Kross Studio continues to redefine the horological landscape, offering unparalleled experiences to enthusiasts worldwide.
Collaborations
Within this array of extraordinary pieces, some are exclusively designed for our collaborative projects. These are coupled with Functional Art pieces to create a Collector Set. We collaborate with the biggest names in entertainment and pop culture such as Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO, DC Comics, Hasbro, and Lucasfilm. The KS 7’000, our first born in-house caliber, serves as the cornerstone of exclusive collaborations with global entertainment giants, adorning watches inspired by iconic characters and themes. From Boba Fett to the Death Star, every piece is unique, with customized components mirroring its thematic universe.
Moreover, our vision of Functional Art extends to the crafting of remarkable accessories, including table clocks, and both rotating and travel cases.
