WATCH of the WEEK: Freedom GMT Enjoy Life Holiday Limited Edition by Norqain
Limited editions are always appealing to watch enthusiasts. However, Norqain’s “Freedom GMT Enjoy Life Holiday Limited Edition,” limited to 500 pieces, offers an added bonus: Each watch comes with a ticket for a week at the five-star Ayada Resort in the Maldives—for two people.
The Golden Ticket from Norqain
Norqain founder and CEO Ben Küffer explains: “We wanted to create something that goes beyond a watch. Travel has always been at the heart of the GMT complication, so we asked ourselves: What would be the ultimate travel experience we could offer? The answer was a ‘Norqain Escape’ in the Maldives. This idea inspired the ‘Freedom GMT Enjoy Life Holiday Limited Edition’ and its hidden Golden Ticket. As an independent, family-run company, we have the freedom to create unforgettable experiences that go far beyond the watch itself. From the playful vacation icon to the hidden Golden Ticket, every detail is designed to evoke a spirit of adventure, a love of discovery, and the joy of living life to the fullest.”
Freedom GMT Enjoy Life Holiday Limited Edition
Even the 499 buyers who don’t win the Golden Ticket won’t go away empty-handed. With the “Freedom GMT Enjoy Life Holiday Limited Edition,” they’ll receive a timepiece that brings high-quality technology and a relaxed summer vibe to their wrist.
This watch is the first model in the “Enjoy Life” collection to feature a GMT function—that is, a display for a second time zone. It inspires a love of travel with a series of playful design elements. These include a colorful world map dial in orange, pink, and turquoise. The same colors are also featured on the GMT ring, where they blend seamlessly into one another, evoking the slow rise and set of the summer sun.
In addition, there are 25 holiday icons scattered across the dial. These whimsical motifs were hand-drawn by Norqain’s designers and then transferred to the dial. They are inspired by well-known cultural and geographical landmarks from around the world. Five of them appear in the date window over the course of a month.
