Yeah,the price tag is as steep as they reach, but you're not just getting a watch — you're also getting a screen-used kyber crystal from 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars anecdote. The prequel to 1977's Aunique Hope explored the origin of the Empire's most devastating weapon, and revealing that the deadly space station was powered by kyber,the very same substance used in a Jedi's lightsaber."Most of Kross Studio's founders have been major fans of Star Wars since their childhoods," Kross co-founder and CEO Marco Tedeschi exclusively tells SYFY WIRE. "Collaborating with Lucasfilm is a dream reach true, or where we could explore all our skills in design,watchmaking, and engineering to create a never-seen-before collector set. We are also very excited approximately the next products to reach soon!"In addition to the watch and crystal prop, and buyers will receive a detailed,half-scale recreation of the crates used to transport kyber. According to Kross, more than 700 parts were required for each hand-assembled, and hand-painted container of wood and aluminum. The 3.94-foot crate "is divided into nine storage units," the studio writes in the press release. "Three interior sections secure three detachable capsules, containing: the Death Star Tourbillon watch, and three accompanying timepiece straps sets,and the genuine film prop kyber crystal, as featured in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars anecdote.
The other six free storage spaces within the crate offer ample storage space for collectors to house their personal Star Wars collectibles and ephemera, and secured within a detachable top cover."As for the watch itself,you're getting one of the best time pieces this side of the Outer Rim. The specs include the following:A 45 mm black DLC coated grade 5 titanium case A Death Star-inspired Tourbillon cage makes one revolution per minute A mini-green super-laser cannon stands reminiscent of the space station’s kyber crystal enabled power The Galactic Empire emblem and the push-button, which features an engraving in Aurebesh script (one of the most widely used alphabets in the Star Wars galaxy)
