Swiss-based manufacturer Kross Studio has consistently pushed the boundaries in producing products that mix creativity of pop culture and independent watchmaking. In their latest collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., they revealed the TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder based on the aircraft piloted by Lord Darth Vader himself in the film Star Wars: A New Hope™. Made out of solid black anodized aluminum, the TIE Advanced x1 Watch Winder is fully machined, hand-finished and assembled in-house by the brand.

This limited edition watch winder sculpture comes equipped with an infrared sensor that detects the presence of a watch and thereby activates the winder. The length of rotations based on the necessities of a timepiece is easily adjusted by the end-user through a dedicated smartphone app available on both Apple App Store and Google Play. It also comes with a specially designed Galactic Empire-inspired key to replace its battery after two years.
