Press Release

KUROS COLLECTION
The name Kuros comes from the Greek for Cyrus, the founder of Achaemenid Empire. The design
of the Kuros collection does not aim to mimic or reinvent. Instead it represents the necessity of
evolving in a departure from the conformism of the current era. A case with a diameter of 44mm
(including the crowns) boasts four walls in the shape of horns with high quality finish, and
encompasses the main watch mechanism. The slanting lugs designed to a hold spare rubber strap
fit the wrist perfectly. Its original design makes one long for the future and is the result of years of
work and research. The watch displays hours, minutes, seconds, and the date (in the Cyrus font),
and it is also equipped with a chronograph function. The face is fitted with three-dimensional
hands (3D) and an easy-read function. In a single glance, you can read the time at night or during
the day (the hands are treated with Super-LumiNova), while a special hand, which can measure
time up to or down from 4 hours and 30 minutes, enables the exact reading of hours and minutes
in the chronograph function. An attentive observer is sure to notice the crown next to the figure 9
and ponder on its purpose. In the end, the crown was added with the purpose of creating balance,
and especially to remind the user of the limited series, and reveal the watch number. By moving
the crown to the left, the serial number of your watch is disclosed mysteriously on the plate fitted
at the base. An individual series is limited to only 188 watches. The case back of every Kuros
collection watch made of a gold and titanium alloy contains an identical copy of a more than
2,500-year-old Coin, fashioned during the reign of Cyrus. Every titanium product from the KUROS
collection is engraved with a special message for the owner, either on the coin or around the
trademark logo: " Share the values of Cyrus the GREAT, the powerful conqueror, considered as the
precursor of human rights. His spirit of conquest is still living in this timepiece. Be part of it. "
" Be part of it." This is what we are talking about. Take a step into the history of CYRUS watches.
Be legitimately proud to wear such a luxurious product on your wrist. Let the message engraved
in the case back of the watch reflect reality: " Proudly made for demanding people. "
