Last Updated: April 8, 2024Tags:

Kross Studio unveils its newest masterpiece: the KS 05 Titanium Moss Agate. This unique timepiece, crafted specially for valued UAE partner Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, showcases a captivating moss agate dial within a 45mm brushed titanium case. This creation proudly houses the manufacture’s signature movement, the central floating tourbillon.

The KS 7’005 Caliber

At the heart of this timepiece beats the KS 7’005, a manually-wound mechanical movement composed of 220 components and 27 jewels. The intricate design prioritizes optimal performance. Coaxial functions, including winding, power storage, regulation, and display, reside along the central axis. The KS 7’005 boasts a generous 120-hour power reserve and outstanding accuracy thanks to its larger sized barrel. Layered components elevate the balance wheel and tourbillon, culminating in Kross Studio’s groundbreaking central floating tourbillon, a mesmerizing spectacle of ingenuity. The KS 7’005’s revolutionary peripheral hour display system employs a planetary gear mechanism nestled on ball bearings, liberating the tourbillon for unhindered viewing.

A 45mm Titanium Case

Grade 5 titanium forms the KS 05 case. Chosen for its strength and lightness, it showcases Kross Studio’s dedication to cutting-edge materials. The circular satin finish imbues the watch with a sophisticated and tactile appeal. Its streamlined design, lugs, sharp corners, or even a traditional crown, ensures comfort on the wrist. In a stroke of brilliance, the case incorporates a recessed button for time-setting at 3 o’clock, and a D-ring seamlessly integrated into the case back for effortless winding. The interchangeable strap mechanism permits effortless strap changes with a simple click, allowing the wearer to customize their KS 05 with their choice of two included straps.

The Sapphire Crystal

The KS 05’s domed sapphire crystal shows the movement’s intricacies in close detail. Meticulous anti-reflective coating on both sides, as well as interior anti-UV and anti-static treatments, ensure optimal visibility.

The Dials

The KS 05 Titanium Moss Agate’s dial is a two-part construction guaranteed to draw the attention of the enthusiast. The outer dial (the flange) features a circular satin-brush and black PVD finish. Its engraved railway track, filled with white lacquer, and rhodium-plated, Super-LumiNova-infused indexes further enhance its aesthetic.

The inner dial, crafted from captivating moss agate, offers a touch of translucency. An aperture at 9 o’clock reveals the intricate workings of the movement, showcasing traditional watchmaking finishes nestled amongst the stone’s unique filaments.

Moss Agate

Moss agate, a type of agate, forms within volcanic rock cavities, its moss-like inclusions a result of mineral deposits. The density of these deposits influences its transparency, guaranteeing that each stone – and each dial – is a true one-of-a-kind creation.

The KS 05 Titanium Moss Agate is an exclusive piece available solely at Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons in the United Arab Emirates (98,000 CHF). To explore other KS 05 models, visit kross-studio.com or an authorized retailer.
