Very interesting approach. I bought my wife a Love Bracelet from Cartier, and that thing screws down and locks onto her wrist. I made the comment to our SA that if someone wants it, they’ll have to cut her hand off, and Rolex/AP/Patek should probably invent a similar locking system. We joked about it. And here it is!
I suspect a thief may find it within their sphere of scruples (or lack there of) and have no problem just machete off your appendage to get a $20,000 or more score! Not sure I’d want this… Will be interesting to hear what others think. Thanks for posting OP! |

Seems like a neat idea - dependent on how intent your mugger is... surprised they haven't produced one for the Sub + GMT ranges - but I'd imagine you'd lose the glidelock and easy-link functions.

Stupidest idea ever. If a frantic criminal wants my watch, they get it… not worth introducing this into the equation.

Imagine – you are approaching security at the airport an then you realise that you have left the key at home. Will they accept that you can´t remove your watch ?

Great for sleight of hand pickpocket types. Not so great for crazed thieves intent on getting your watch. Not for me.

Not for me. This is why I have insurance on my watch.

Just learn Kung Fu. It's a win win. You get into shape and get to kick a muggers ass at the same time. Extremely rewarding!

For the the clasp, if you forget the keys, a small screw driver to unscrew a bracelet link and you are free. |

The Orkos Universe - The watch lock revolution.
Ok, that’s the most pompous yet bland marketing message I’ve ever seen. |

Yeah I dunno. The potential damage from someone trying to rip the watch off your wrist could be ugly. I doubt machete wielding thieves are common in most first world big cities but my watch is not worth losing a hand or my life over.
It is pretty impressive tech packed into a clasp that appears no bigger than the standard one. |

The best secure system would be to lay the foundations to set laws that allow us to shoot the thief. I am sure they would never stole again…

When I have to start locking my watch to my wrist then it’s time for a new hobby.

Came up with a similar idea years ago. Just not as attractive!
