Dubai luxury brand Caviar has unveiled a new collection of mechanical watches called the Space Tornado, inspired by the cosmic phenomenon of space whirlwinds. The collection features three models: Twin Spin, Stargazer X-Edition, and SkyWard.
The most notable feature of the Stargazer X-Edition is a piece of the SpaceX Starship mission spacecraft embedded in the dial at the 12 o’clock mark. Caviar acquired this fragment from a collector who gathered pieces of Starship in Boca Chica, Texas, USA, after a Starship crash in March 2024. The limited-edition Stargazer X-Edition is priced at $6630.
According to Caviar, the Space Tornado collection is a “manifesto of boldness, a symbol of striving for the stars, and an invitation to possess a piece of infinity.” The tourbillon mechanisms in the watches are designed to resemble whirlwinds, and the collection’s name is a reference to the giant vortices that occur on stars.
Twin Spin, the most affordable model in the collection, features two tourbillons and is priced at $6200. The SkyWard model features a skeletonized chronograph that allows wearers to view the intricate watch mechanism. The SkyWard model is priced at $6910.
The Stargazer X-Edition is limited to only three pieces, while the other watches are limited to 99 pieces each. Tourbillon mechanisms were invented by legendary watchmaker Louis Breguet in 1795 and are considered to be the pinnacle of watchmaking. The complexity of manufacturing tourbillon mechanisms makes watches with them some of the most prestigious and expensive timepieces available.
Caviar is renowned for crafting high-end devices and mechanisms using rare materials and advanced technologies. Recently, they unveiled the limited-edition “Criss-Cross” iPad Pro 2024, inspired by Deadpool, starting at $12,200. Additionally, Caviar introduced a $44,000 Porsche eBike adorned with 18k gold, which comes with a complimentary iPhone 16.
