The watches nod to two of the scariest predators in the film: the T-rex and the velociraptors. They feature handmade dials with unique colors inspired by the prehistoric animals. They are wrapped in BGW9 Super-LumiNova, assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and come with straps made of scaled salmon leather from Ictyos, creating a reptilian texture.
