New “House of the Dragon” Timepiece Collector Sets From Kross Studio
Kross Studio is known for its innovative fusion of fantasy and haute horlogerie. A new watch collection takes inspiration from the mega-hit, HBO series – House of the Dragon. The second season of the series is now available underway. As a result, these exquisite timepieces and dragon egg sculptures offer discerning collectors an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the mythical realm of Westeros.
Kross Studio introduces an amazing six latest collector. Thus, it pays homage to the show’s dragons – Arrax, Silverwing, Moondancer, Seasmoke, Vermithor and Sunfyre. Plus, previous unique collector set editions came from the Kross Studio x House of the Dragon collaboration. These are dedicated to Balerion (sold out), Viserion, Viserion Ice Dragon (sold out) and Drogon (sold out). In addition, Rhaegal, Syrax, Caraxès (sold out), Meleys (sold out), Vaghar (sold out), and Vermax (sold out).
Each of the Collector Sets pays homage to a specific dragon from the “Game of Thrones” saga. As a result, they capture their unique essence and formidable presence. The main feature of each set is a mesmerizing central floating tourbillon watch. It’s a masterpiece of horological engineering designed by Kross Studio’s founder Marco Tedeschi. The watch and its tourbillon, suspended beneath a sapphire crystal dome. Therefore, it reflects the distinct aesthetic codes of House Targaryen, from its 45mm grade 5 titanium case to its intricate movement.
Complementing the watch is a meticulously crafted dragon egg sculpture in resin. It’s hand-painted by the renowned French workshop Leblon Delienne. Thus, each egg represents its corresponding dragon. In addition, the egg serves as a nest for the watch and adds an element of fantasy and intrigue to the collection.
“Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did” – Daemon Targaryen
Marco Tedeschi states, “We are thrilled to unveil these new Collector Sets, which represent a culmination of our passion for horlogerie and our deep admiration for the ‘Game of Thrones’ universe. Each piece is a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling, and we are confident that they will resonate with collectors and fans alike.”
The ultimate Targaryen-inspired timepiece
At the heart of the Game of Thrones Central Floating Tourbillon lies the innovative KS 7’005 movement. For example, the movement features a world-first, manually wound floating central tourbillon. As a mesmerizing complication, it seems to defy gravity as it rotates within the watch. In addition, the peripheral hour display mechanism adds a touch of futuristic elegance. Lastly, the hour markers are positioned around the edge of the dial instead of the center.

KS 7’005 Caliber
The manual-winding patented floating central tourbillon is designed, crafted, and assembled in Kross Studio’s workshops. Therefore, the barrel and the regulator provide a power reserve of 120 hours with chronometric performance. Continuing, this remarkable complication is a testament to the pinnacle of horological expertise.
Floating in the skies
The cage of the central floating tourbillon is a visual marvel. As an example, it marks a patented, world-first achievement. Similar to a dragon gliding across the heavens looking down from above, the floating central tourbillon is suspension just below the sapphire crystal dome. As a result, it provides a breathtaking view of the inner workings of the watch beneath it.
Valyrian steel
The creative design of the watch merges key elements of the fantasy “House of the Dragon” series and its renowned dragons. For example, the dial is made of Damasteel. TV show fans will recognize its striated appearance, made up of multiple dark and shimmering layers. In closing, the Damascus steel used in the Dragon Central Tourbillon dial is crafted by Damasteel. It’s the same foundry that forged the metal used in the HBO series’ swords.
