NORQAIN honours both heritage and high performance with the Wild ONE Skeleton Stan the Man Limited Edition, a bold creation dedicated to three-time Grand Slam champion and brand ambassador Stan Wawrinka.
Limited to just 85 pieces — a nod to the Swiss player’s birth year, 1985 — the watch reimagines NORQAIN’s ultra-robust Wild ONE Skeleton with playful, personal touches. Its case construction integrates a vibrant yellow-green rubber shock absorber, echoing the colour of a tennis ball, framed by the Maison’s proprietary NORTEQ® carbon fibre material. A black and yellow-green strap, patterned like a tennis net, underscores the athletic spirit.
The watch is brimming with thoughtful tributes. The sapphire caseback bears an image of Stan alongside the dates of his three Slam victories — the 2014 Australian Open, the 2015 French Open, and the 2016 US Open. Most striking of all, the side plate features real tennis ball fibres infused into the “NORQAIN” engraving, a world-first detail that captures both innovation and intimacy.
At its heart, the skeletonised NORQAIN Calibre NB08S — a chronometer-certified automatic movement — delivers precision with a 41-hour power reserve. The lightweight construction and shock resistance make it a watch designed not just for admiration but for action, one Stan himself could wear on court.
Each timepiece arrives in a bespoke chrome sphere box, accompanied by a tennis ball personally signed by Wawrinka and a commemorative plate of his victories. As Stan himself put it: “What makes this watch so special to me is the fact that it contains actual tennis ball fibres… stylish, lightweight, and practical.”
Priced from SGD $9,650, the Wild ONE Skeleton Stan the Man Limited Edition is unveiled at Bucherer New York on August 22, 2025 — the stage of Stan’s unforgettable US Open triumph. A statement of sport, style, and Swiss ingenuity, it is both a collector’s piece and a tribute to one of tennis’s fiercest competitors.
