The Crbn Chronograph is the first chronograph watch released by the Crbn Watch Co.
Chronograph watches and their complications have produced some of the most special timepieces released to the watch world. From an Omega Speedmaster to the Rolex Daytona to something extra special like a Patek Phillippe Nautilus 5990, chronographs have a haloed space within horology.
In 2018, at the pebble beach Concours D'Elegance, Lamborghini released their most hardcore version of the Aventador, the SuperVeloceJota. The Jota designation is special to Lamborghini, only the Muira and the Diablo have carried the Jota name, and so routed in the Aventador SVJ is the inspiration for the Crbn Chronograph.
The face of the Crbn Chronograph is carbon fibre, allowing every movement to expose the shift of the weave pattern. Carbon fibre is synonymous with the supercar world, as this timepiece is influenced by the carbon rear diffuser on the SVJ.
The dial takes inspiration for two other key features. The subdials are surrounded by two shiny, metallic rings, replicating the edge of the mid mounted exhaust tips chosen by Lamborghini. The distinctive grey, metallic exhaust tips are contrasted by the golden bronze innards of the exhaust. The golden bronze second hand travels around the carbon dial hinting to the golden mesh in and around the SVJs exhaust.
The Crbn Chronograph is inspired by "Special", the standout features on a supercar, the design that creates that sense of occasion. And it's that influence that makes the Crbn Chronograph something special for this wrist.
