Unmatched Precision and Craftsmanship

At the core of the MT1 is the newly developed KS 7010 MT caliber, a skeletonized movement features a beautifully positioned tourbillon at the 6 o’clock mark. This movement is not only visually striking but also certified as a chronometer by the COSC, ensuring top-notch precision with an impressive 7-day power reserve. The watch is housed in a sleek 44mm case that showcases a modern aesthetic, free of lugs and a visible crown, emphasizing the intricate beauty of its internal mechanics.

Innovative Engineering

For Marco Tedeschi, the MT1 embodies his passion for melding tradition and innovation. The flying tourbillon, a signature complication in Tedeschi’s creations, sits at the heart of this sophisticated design, reflecting both his craftsmanship and the emerging future of watchmaking. The architecture of the KS 7010 MT caliber has been ingeniously designed to maximize the utility of space, allowing the oversized barrel to contribute to the watch's extended power reserve, all contained in a compact structure.

Aesthetic Elegance Meets Functionality

The dial is a masterclass in craftsmanship, showcasing three-dimensionally hand-chamfered bridges that gleam with a masterful blend of materials and finishes. On the reverse side, the caseback incorporates calming decorative elements inspired by Japanese gardens, specifically the 'Raindrop' motif, resonating with Tedeschi’s dedication to combining art with craftsmanship.

Materials and Finish that Set New Standards

The MT1’s case is meticulously crafted from Grade 5 ELI titanium, a premium alloy with enhanced biocompatibility, making it not only lightweight but also incredibly durable. The sophisticated combination of finishes on the main plate and bridges, alongside the exquisite dark ruthenium treatment, creates captivating visual depth while maintaining high functional standards.

Ergonomic Design for Unparalleled Comfort

The ergonomic design extends beyond aesthetics—boasting a lightweight, rounded silhouette, the MT1 fits comfortably on the wrist, enhancing the wearer’s experience. The sapphire crystal further streamlines its profile, while a unique push-button system enables users to switch between an array of straps, including luxury materials like calfskin and alligator, tailored to their preferences.

Limited Availability and Esteemed Recognition

With a price tag of CHF 68,000 (excluding taxes), the MT1: Chronomètre Tourbillon 7 Jours is a limited edition, available exclusively through Kross Studio's official website and select high-end retailers. The timepiece is poised to gain further prestige as it is entered into illustrious competitions, including the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and the Louis Vuitton Watch Prize for 2025-2026.

The MT1 is not just a watch; it’s an emblem of Kross Studio's commitment to redefining modern horology. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of this extraordinary craftsmanship!
