Norqain to launch Wild ONE Skeleton Chrono at Watches and Wonders
Norqain plans to debut its Wild ONE Skeleton Chrono 42 mm model at Watches and Wonders in Geneva next week.
The design is a flyback chronograph tailored for athletes and sports enthusiasts, powered by the Norqain 8K manufacture calibre.
Alongside the launch of the standard edition in black Norteq — a proprietary, ultra-lightweight carbon fibre composite material developed by Norqain — with a black shock absorber on a black rubber strap with turquoise detailing, there will also be a piece in burgundy Norteq with a black shock absorber on a black rubber strap and white detailing, which will be limited to 400 pieces.
The third and final edition is limited to 75 pieces, featuring a top plate in brushed and polished 18-carat 5N “PX IMPACT” red gold. This gold is responsibly soured and supplied by Norqain’s Swiss partner PX Group.
The standard edition will retail at £7,050 with the burgundy edition retailing at £7,150, followed by the red gold at £18,550.
Norqain’s founder and CEO, Ben Küffer, said: “Chronographs are the reference in sports watches and with the Wild ONE skeleton Chrono, we’ve created a high-performance sports watch for athletes and dynamic people who love to push their limits and get things done.
“It’s a sporty, let’s-do-this kind of watch that carries the confident, aspirational posture that’s defined this company since we founded it in 2018.”
Staying true to its purpose, to introduce the design the campaign will feature Norqain ambassadors: rising star of Swiss football Sydney Schertenleib, Swiss tennis legend and multiple Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka, and Italian footballer and World Cup winner Gianluigi Buffon.
On top of the Wild ONE Skeleton Chrono, Norqain is also unveiling the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite at Watches and Wonders.
A limited edition of only 200 pieces and weighing just 45 grammes, the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite concept watch is the brand’s lightest ever and will retail at £9,700.
