AWAKE Jurassic Watch
Independent watchmaker AWAKE unveils the Jurassic Watch, the first chapter in its series, ‘A Tribute to The 7th Art.’ Available in two limited-edition models (T-REX and RAPTORS), the Jurassic Watch is a tribute to Spielberg’s 1993 masterpiece, based on Michael Crichton’s best-selling novel.
Each dial is hand-lacquered by a master artisan, drawing inspiration from the reptilian gaze of prehistoric creatures. Using techniques from the AWAKE Sơn Mài collection, the layered lacquer – infused with natural pigments and silver leaf – creates a rich play of depth, texture, and reflection.
Featuring a custom construction of indexes and hands coated in BGW9 Super-LumiNova®, the Jurassic Watch delivers a refined interplay of light and shadow.
Each strap is crafted from scaled salmon leather sourced from ICTYOS. With its distinctly reptilian texture and natural sheen, this sustainable material offers bold visual impact and endless creative potential – perfectly in line with AWAKE’s avant-garde spirit.
Both AWAKE Jurassic Watch editions are assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the cradle of Swiss watchmaking. Inside beats the G101 automatic movement from La Joux-Perret, offering robust performance and a 68-hour power reserve.
The T-REX model features a fiery orange dial and matching marine leather strap evoke the raw power of the saga’s most fearsome predator. The RAPTORS has a shimmering green palette pays tribute to the cunning Velociraptor. Each model is limited to just 50 pieces.
Made famous by the first Jurassic Park movie, the T-Rex and the velociraptors –the most popular predators of the prehistoric era –continue to inspire awe and fascination in the world’s museums.
The T-REX version features a fiery orange dial with a gradient finish, alive with vivid reflections. Just above the 6 o’clock marker, two applied rip marks subtly reference the T-Rex’s fearsome two-clawed forelimbs…
It is combined with a bright iridescent orange marine leather strap with a reptilian appearance, lined with orange calfskin featuring tone-on-tone hand stitching.
It’s paired with a bold, iridescent orange marine leather strap – scaled and textured like reptile skin – lined with orange calfskin and finished with tone-on-tone hand stitching.
On the caseback, the quote “Spared No Expense” is engraved – a line delivered repeatedly by John Hammond, the eccentric billionaire who brings dinosaurs back to life on Isla Nublar. His vision, grand and unrestrained, gives rise to Jurassic Park… and the chaos that follows.
This model evokes one of the film’s most unforgettable moments: the nighttime scene in the pouring rain, when the T-Rex escapes its paddock and attacks the tour vehicles – an image seared into the memory of every kid growing up in the 1990s.
The RAPTORS edition is inspired by the film’s most cunning predator, the Velociraptor. Its dial shimmers with layered shades of green, capturing the eerie intensity of the creature’s gaze. Three applied claw marks slash across the surface, echoing the raptor’s lethal precision.
The watch is paired with an iridescent green marine leather strap – scaled and textured like reptile hide – lined with khaki calfskin and hand-stitched in matching tones.
On the caseback: the prophetic line “Life Finds a Way”, spoken by Dr. Ian Malcolm, the film’s chaotic voice of reason. It’s a quote that encapsulates the film’s central theme – and the inevitable unraveling of its grand experiment.
This model brings us back to one of the film’s most suspenseful moments: the kitchen scene, where two raptors stalk their prey with unnerving intelligence, opening doors and closing in on the terrified children…
Both editions feature a completely reimagined movement ring – designed in harmony with the theme of this special release.
A laser-engraved jungle motif evokes the lush, tropical foliage so iconic to the film’s setting. Around the ring, the Jurassic Watch name appears at 12 o’clock, with Swiss Made engraved at 6 o’clock in a typeface that instantly recalls the visual world of the saga. At 3 o’clock, each piece is individually numbered.
At 9 o’clock on the T-REX version, you’ll find the line “Spared No Expense,” a tribute to John Hammond’s grand vision.
On the RAPTORS version, “Life Finds a Way” honors Dr. Ian Malcolm’s prophetic warning – a line that has echoed through pop culture ever since.
Inside one of the 100 Jurassic Watch boxes is a genuine dinosaur tooth, together with a certificate of authenticity.
