Yes. The Premiere Watch is limited to 1,923 43mm watches and 1,923 36mm watches, a tribute to the year 1923 when the original sign was erected on Mount Lee in Los Angeles. Each watch has the edition number engraved on the back.

We had the opportunity to collect the remaining metal from the original Hollywood sign from the owner of ScreenUsed, a respected entertainment collectibles company that deals in Hollywood and film-related memorabilia. The metal is fully authenticated and certified and you will receive a Certificate of Authenticity card with each watch.

The metal is sandblasted and flattened, cut and treated before being engraved and affixed to the dial under the 12 o’clock position.

We don’t know yet exactly how many watches we will be able to make with original Hollywood Sign metal featured in the design. We do know that the metal is very precious and finite and that every watch will be extremely limited in availability while we have enough metal to produce them. The Hollywood sign metal for use in watches is exclusive to Hollywood Watch Company. Only a limited number of watch enthusiasts will ever own one of these remarkable timepieces.

Yes, we use sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective treatment on the dial and the case is made of 316L stainless steel to offer strength and durability, the same metal used to build the Chrysler Building, another art deco masterpiece (fun fact!).

The average battery life is 60 months (5 years). The watch also has a power saving mechanism when the stem is pulled out, which reduces power consumption by approximately 70%
