KROSS STUDIO LAUNCHES CLASSIC COLORS LEATHER WATCH ROLL SERIES
Gland, Switzerland (August 26, 2022) – Kross Studio has released a new series of classic leather watch rolls in an array of colors: a new collection that marks a departure from the Swiss design atelier’s typical pop-culture inspired collectibles and highlights the manufacture’s finesse in luxury accessory product development.
Kross Studio developed over 50 different prototypes before finally developing a watch roll design that met Kross Studio CEO and Creative Director Marco Tedeschi’s stringent requirements. “As a watch lover and frequent traveler, I had not yet found a watch roll that really met my needs on the road,” says Tedeschi. “Endless prototypes later, we landed on the perfect watch roll design: one that offers the perfect balance of protection and upscale materials, classic styling, and practical functionality.”
The classic watch rolls offer unmatched protection for any wristwatch, at home or abroad. The rolls’ snap top closures flip wide open to reveal a removable pillow insert that can accommodate a Kross Studio timepiece or any other style of watch or smartwatch. The fine microfiber lining effectively prevents scratches and damage to cases, bezels, straps, and clasps. Layers of robust padding and sturdy interior panels lend further structure and shock absorption, with wood panels on the side and a metal plaque beneath the snap top. This sturdy profile allows each roll to stow discreetly and safely cushioned within a suitcase, carry-on, or dresser drawer. Subtle ‘legs’ on the bottom of each roll also enable them to stand upright on any surface.
The contrast-stitched genuine leather cases are available in a range of hues, from neutrals (tan, grey, black) and classic tones (navy blue, green, gold, baby pink) to highly saturated colors (royal blue, orange, red, yellow, turquoise). It also makes the perfect vehicle for custom embossing, a service offering for this collection that Kross plans to roll out by end of year 2022 on its website, kross-studio.com.
A Kross Studio 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 a 5-year international warranty.
Just two years since Kross Studio was founded, the company headquartered in Gland, Switzerland now boasts a team of 12, authorized retailers in 18 countries, and an ever-diversifying product catalog of luxury collectibles. The latest Kross Studio watch roll collection signals the design atelier’s vision for growth and continued expansion.

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.”

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.
