UPDATE: In an exciting development for watch enthusiasts, streetwear brand Open Bar Funeral is set to launch a striking alternative to the iconic Cartier Crash watch on November 28. Priced at just $128, the “Crashio” is poised to capture the attention of collectors and fashion lovers alike.
The original Cartier Crash, known for its surreal design reminiscent of Salvador Dali, has become a coveted item fetching six-figure prices at auctions. However, the scarcity of this luxury timepiece has left many fans yearning for a more accessible option. Open Bar Funeral, founded by designer Mark Nguyen, is stepping in to fill that gap with a creative and affordable take on this classic design.
The new “Crashio” watch features a unique 27×46.5mm resin case and a stylish stainless steel Jubilee-style bracelet. Its digital display includes a warped design that mimics the iconic shape of the original Cartier Crash. Equipped with a 12/24 date format, an auto-calendar, backlit display, and alarm features, the watch combines practicality with artistic flair. With an impressive accuracy of +30 seconds a month and a battery life of up to seven years, the “Crashio” promises both style and reliability.
In a market saturated with luxury watches, the introduction of the “Crashio” marks a refreshing approach. Open Bar Funeral aims to make a splash just after the recent high-profile reveals at Dubai Watch Week, where extravagant designs dominated the spotlight. By drawing inspiration from the beloved Cartier Crash while embracing digital technology, the brand is set to appeal to a wide audience, making it clear that quality and creativity do not have to come with a hefty price tag.
Collectors and fans of unique timepieces are encouraged to mark their calendars for the launch, as the demand for this innovative watch is expected to be high. With its blend of streetwear sensibility and luxury-inspired design, the “Crashio” is likely to sell out quickly, making it a must-have for watch aficionados looking to add a statement piece to their collection.
