Two independent houses who aren’t afraid to shake things up. Honoring tradition and adding a grin. We break the mold, stir the myth and make you smile while thinking twice. Our new character is the Unfrogettable. It’s more than a face; we went beyond the dial, the hands, the crown. We’ve done tourbillons. We’ve done complications. So, this time, we reworked the case, shaped new surfaces in titanium and designed a strap made from the same lacquered leather once used in samurai armor. Every detail has meaning. The frog, in Russian tales, is a spell in disguise. In Japan, it symbolizes luck and resilience. Put them together and you get a hybrid, a frog with a warrior’s heart. This watch is playful and a little crazy, yes, but behind the mischief is serious horology. It’s a full story told through mechanical craft, with a twist.” Manuel Emch Wa t c h fa c t s t h a t m a t t e r - H o ri z o n t a l re g u l a t o r d i s p l a y with rotating eye discs that follow time with a stare. - R e w orked c a se: slimmer, smaller and forged in Grade 5 titanium: 40mm wide, just 12.45mm thick. - D e tails with a w ink: crown at 12 o’clock (because it’s a princess after all) and a hidden love note: Louis Erard ❤️ Konstantin Chaykin. - Arm or, n o t j ust a s t rap: Made of Himeji Kurozan leather, hand-rubbed and Urushi-lacquered. - 178-p i e c e l i m i t e d e d i t i o n: Available from November 2025 W h y a F ro g ? In Russian folklore, the frog hides a spell, a secret, a soul: humble outside, full of hidden power. In Japanese legend, the frog (kaeru) stands for luck and resilience, a small creature capable of great change. It’s also a good-luck charm. The samurai? A symbol of discipline, strength and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Put them together and you get something wild: a hybrid creature, hopping between cultures, armed with wit and willpower. A regulator with wide eyes. A frog with a warrior’s heart. Read also POLO XPERIENCE BY MONTE CARLO POLO TEAM AND BIG ART FESTIVAL on 21.11.2025 DUBAI |
