Some products we stock because they are useful. This one we stock because it made us grin the moment the box opened. The CRYPTOMATIC Jetsetter is now at The Whale Lounge, and Hong Kong is one of the very few places on earth you can put one on your wrist before buying it.

The house that time-stamped Bitcoin

CRYPTOMATIC built the world's first Bitcoin watch back in 2014, when saying "Bitcoin" in a room of watchmakers got you polite smiles. Two hundred pieces of the original CRYPTOMAT were made. They never made it again. That became the house rule: every collection strictly limited, and once it sells out, retired forever. The CRYPTOMAT, the HODLER, the ENVOY, all gone.

For its tenth anniversary, the house did something new: it went Swiss. THE JETSETTER is CRYPTOMATIC's first Swiss Made timepiece, powered by the Soprod C125 automatic caliber, with a case-back carrying the motto engraved on every CRYPTOMATIC since the beginning: Vires Acquirit Eundo. It gains strength as it goes. Sound familiar?

A travel watch for the Bitcoin standard

The Jetsetter is built for people whose lives cross time zones: a 24-hour hand tracks home while you roam, a rotating ceramic bezel and 100m of water resistance handle whatever the trip throws at it, and the 40mm steel case slips under a cuff at a board meeting or over a wetsuit sleeve at the beach. Sapphire crystal, Swiss Super-LumiNova, 42 hours of power reserve, hacking seconds, a date window. Proper watchmaking, wearing a Bitcoin dial.

Five references. A handful of pieces each.

JET-111 · Steel · Stealth Dial JET-112 · Steel · Orange ₿ JET-121 · Steel · Orange Bezel JET-212 · Black PVD · Orange ₿ JET-213 · Black PVD · Orange Dial

Our pick for first-time Jetsetter owners is the JET-111: stealth enough for the boardroom, with the tonal ₿ only visible when the light catches it. The loud money is on the JET-213, a full orange dial that does not whisper anything.

In the box

Every Jetsetter ships as a travel kit: the watch on an Italian leather strap with butterfly buckle, a second NATO strap with an orange accent, spring bars to swap them in seconds, warranty card, cleaning cloth, and a canvas and leather travel case that will outlast most luggage.

Priced in Bitcoin, naturally

The Jetsetter is 0.021 BTC, which we list at $1,299. Pay in sats or dollars at checkout, whichever you stack. Each reference is limited to a handful of pieces in Hong Kong, and CRYPTOMATIC does not re-run sold-out models. Ever. That is the whole point.

Explore the Jetsetter for the full story and specifications, or go straight to the collection and pick your dial. If you want to see one in the metal first, come by the Lounge. We will put the kettle on.
