Tennis star puts NORQAIN development watch through its paces
Swiss tennis legend Stan Wawrinka sported a one-of-a-kind NORQAIN Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite development watch at this year’s Wimbledon tournament.
A business partner and ambassador for the fledgling Swiss brand, Wawrinka was effusive in his praise for the Wild ONE. “I’ve worn NORQAIN watches on and off the court for years, but this one is unlike anything I’ve worn before,” he said.
“Its striking, Wimbledon-inspired white design stands out on the grass courts, while its exceptional comfort lets me focus entirely on my game. I’m proud to be part of the development process, helping test the next generation of the Wild ONE where performance matters most,” he continued.
The development watch is being used by NORQAIN as a way of testing new innovations and technologies, based on the runaway success of the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Limited Edition.
“The response to the Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Limited Edition has been extraordinary, with every piece fully reserved before it even reached our clients,” said Ben Küffer, founder & CEO of NORQAIN. “The success of the X-Lite concept watch inspired us to keep pushing the boundaries of material innovation.
“We’re constantly exploring and testing new materials to shape the future of the Wild ONE. There is no better person to put a development watch through its paces than Stan Wawrinka. Seeing it perform under the pressure of Wimbledon is exactly the kind of real-world validation we’re looking for.”
