[VIDEO] Recapping the Worn & Wound Meetup Celebrating the Launch of the Tissot PRX UFO Robot Grendizer Special Edition

Worn & Wound was honored to be chosen by Tissot to be the launch party partner for the global release of their latest fun and unique special edition! Scores of Worn & Wound readers and watch enthusiasts gathered at Tissot’s 5th Ave boutique in NYC to celebrate two worlds converge to create something extraordinary, a collaboration that bridges generations, celebrates legacy, and embraces the spirit of creativity and innovation. It was our pleasure to introduce—the PRX UFO Robot Grendizer Special Edition. Please enjoy this video capturing this epic affair!

In the late 1970s, the world witnessed the rise of two legends. On one hand, we had the Tissot PRX, a watch that quickly became a symbol of Swiss precision and timeless design. On the other, we had UFO Robot Grendizer, a heroic figure from the vibrant universe of manga and anime, capturing the imagination of audiences across the globe. Both were icons of their era, and today, they are reborn in a collaboration that not only honors their past but also invites a new generation to discover their enduring appeal.

This special edition watch is more than just a timepiece; it’s a fusion of Swiss craftsmanship and Japanese pop culture. It combines 70s design with modern technology, featuring a 40mm stainless steel case, a vibrant blue dial inspired by Grendizer, and a yellow Super-LumiNova® bust of the robot hero. Every detail, from the Harken-style second hand to the engraved rotor, nods to the iconic anime, blending nostalgia with innovation. Powered by the Powermatic 80 movement with an 80-hour power reserve and Nivachron™ balance spring, this watch is both durable and beautiful, reflecting Tissot’s commitment to quality.

But the story doesn’t end there. Even the watch box has been transformed into a work of art, modeled after Grendizer’s legendary spaceship, the Spazer. This special design is not just a container; it is a continuation of the journey, a personal touch that resonates with fans of the anime and watch enthusiasts alike. As Go Nagai, the creator of Grendizer, so eloquently put it, “It’s fascinating that UFO Robot Grendizer and the Tissot PRX both started in the 70s. They come from different worlds, but the collaboration brought out a special meaning.” This collaboration is more than a meeting of two icons; it is a fusion of heritage and innovation, a bridge between the past and the present, and a tribute to the spirit of adventure and exploration that defines both Tissot and Grendizer.

This event, along with the watch at the center of the celebration, managed to capture everyone’s imagination. At the end of the night, one enthusiastic winner got to take a watch home in its out-of-this-world collectible box. Meanwhile, a few blocks over in Times Square, the PRX UFO Robot Grendizer Special Edition simultaneously made a 3D debut of its own on the bigscreen. Thank you to Tissot for inviting us along for the ride and thank you to all that came out to enjoy the festivities. The Worn & Wound team was thrilled to be a part of this watch’s launch and we invite you to celebrate this fun and exciting cultural collaboration with us!
