Building on the phenomenal success of the inaugural PHILIPP PLEIN Swiss Made timepieces launched in 2023, the brand unveils a captivating and disruptive new collection that features two distinct lines of masterpieces: the PHILIPP PLEIN Crypto King Flying Tourbillon and the Crypto King Hexagon.
Renowned for its audacious style and uncompromising quality, Philipp Plein’s venture into the world of luxury watches signifies a paradigm shift in the industry. Each timepiece is a masterpiece, meticulously crafted in the heart of Switzerland, synonymous with the excellence of watchmaking.
For this season PHILIPP PLEIN decided to present the new collection at the beautiful venue La Jungle Du Roi, Philipp Plein residence during the utmost luxury event in Cannes The Film Festival. In the enchanted Cannes landscape, the new collection reflects the luxury spirit of the brand and the indistinguishable innovation of PHILIPP PLEIN. Speaking at the event, Philipp Plein, Founder, and Creative Director of the eponymous brand, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating, “Watches have always been an integral part of fashion and self-expression. It’s a journey that started last year with our collection at Watches and Wonders, we aim to redefine luxury timepieces, offering our loyal, distinguished clientele an unparalleled blend of sophistication and style.”
THE CRYPTO KING FLYING TOURBILLON: BEYOND TIME
This exceptional creation marks a significant step forward for PHILIPP PLEIN in the world of Haute Horlogerie, pushing the boundaries of innovation and craftsmanship while solidifying the brand’s position at the forefront of watchmaking artistry.
The bespoke Landeron calibre PWL100LPP Manual winding Flying Coaxial Tourbillon movement is a demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity while integrating PHILIPP PLEIN’s passion for mechanical innovation.
The exceptionally open window dial offers an exciting view of the flying tourbillon; its inner workings are revealed as a symphony of gears seemingly floating, giving the impression of weightlessness, and offering perfect visibility.
The Coaxial escapement, a testament to Swiss precision engineering, further enhances the watch’s exceptional performance.
The collection offers four distinct models, each boasting an exceptional color combination that defies convention.
• DARE DEVIL XII: A fiery fusion of red and white, featuring a transparent PU strap for a modern touch.
• NINJA PANDA: A classic contrast of black and white, with the white silicone strap complementing the look
• DRAGON FIRE: An electrifying mix of black and orange, accentuated by a soft- touch silicone strap.
• NIGHT WOLF: The pinnacle of the collection, showcasing an attractive black carbon case alongside luxurious 18k Rose Gold screws, hexagonal side cage, and crown.
While every element is carefully studied, the materials used are innovative and technological. The watch boasts a lightweight yet incredibly strong tonneau-shaped case of 55 x 46 mm, crafted from high-performance forged carbon. This high-tech material offers exceptional strength and a great masculine look and feel, enriched by the elevated branding elements that make this Timemachine unique and recognizable: the PHILIPP PLEIN signature Hexagon motif. Meticulously integrated throughout the watch, the Symbol of Greatness not only enriches the top ring, but perforates the strap, adorns the 12 o’clock PP logo, and even extends to the 10 screws on the case itself.
Turn the watch over, and the unique personality of PHILIPP PLEIN shines through. The back case window showcases disruptive elements – the brand’s iconic $miley and $kull- bone alongside the watchmaker’s signature initials.
Produced in limited edition, each Crypto King Flying Tourbillon embodies the esteemed tradition of Swiss watchmaking while remaining true to the brand’s unconventional and irreverent philosophy.
