Unique Collection Inspired by Satellite Ground Stations
In collaboration with KSAT (Kongsberg Satellite Services), we created a distinctive watch collection. Employees received a specially customized version of these watches as Christmas gifts, while a separate collection was also made available for public sale.
The Story Behind Each Watch
Every watch in the public collection contains steel from the first antenna built by KSAT in Antarctica.
In February 2022, during maintenance work at Troll Ground Station in Antarctica, we extracted steel from the first antenna that was built there. The crown, shaped like a satellite ground station, incorporates this steel, allowing you to feel the connection to the universe every time you check the time.
Watch Designs that Tells a Story
The three unique dial colors in the collection draw inspiration from the three most beautiful and exotic colors in the Antarctic sky:
- The beautiful Polar Blue color during clear skies.
- Polar White (during a snowstorm).
- The lovely Polar Peach color during sunset.
Inspired by the radomes that protect the antennas at the Troll ground station, the dials feature a texture that reflects their characteristic shaped appearance.
The second hand, equipped with an illuminated BGW9 satellite, visualizes satellites orbiting the dial shaped like a ground station. With an automatic movement, this satellite smoothly glides over the radome-inspired dial. The case back, with a sapphire glass window, provides a unique visualization of the Earth, with an engraved satellite ground station, as well as a satellite and stars.
