NORQAIN Wild ONE Skeleton X-Lite Unveiled | Stan Wawrinka Interview | Watches & Wonders 2026

At Watches and Wonders 2026, NORQAIN didn't come quietly. They came with a tennis legend, a mountain backdrop, and two watches that prove the Swiss challenger brand is still swinging for the fences. Ben Küffer and three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka sit down with Andrew McUtchen to walk through the full NORQAIN W&W 2026 lineup — and the conversation is as layered as the watches themselves. First up: the Wild ONE Xlite Skeleton. At just 45g, it's the lightest watch NORQAIN has ever made — a three-year engineering project that required 19 new toolings and 492 individual case components to pull off. This wasn't about chasing a size record. It was about proving that a full-size 41mm sports watch could disappear on your wrist. Stan — not just an ambassador, but an investor in the brand — was one of the first voices pushing for lighter. Here's the result. Then there's the Wild ONE Skeleton Chronograph — the complication many have been waiting for. A 42mm case housing NORQAIN's in-house 8K calibre with flyback function, a mountain motif on the dial, and two floating chronograph discs that are constantly in motion. Details: a pulse scale that tops out at 200 (you're a Wild ONE if you're hitting that), a massive exhibition caseback, 62-hour power reserve. And for the collectors: a 75-piece red gold limited edition. And then — ice cream, part two. The original NORQAIN ice cream watch was the brand's most successful launch ever. Now it's back with sprinkles. Hand-applied lume sprinkles. On the dial. On the strap. Even glowing in the dark. Ben had to talk Andrew into it the first time around. Andrew passed. He publicly regrets it. This is NORQAIN at its best: technically serious, culturally playful, and absolutely committed to doing things its own way. ------------------------------- https://norqain.com/ ------------------------------- BRAND - NORQAIN MODEL - WILD ONE SKELETON X-LITE LIMITED EDITION REFERENCE - N3003.26X01.B01.R01 (BLACK AND YELLOW RUBBER STRAP) N3003.26X01.B01.F01 (BLACK RUBBER AND YELLOW STRETCH STRAP) CASE DIMENSIONS - 41MM (D) X 11.95MM (T) X 48.7MM (LTL) CASE MATERIAL - NORTEQ®, X-LITE, RUBBER, TITANIUM, ALUMINIUM WATER RESISTANCE - 100 METRES, SCREW-DOWN CROWN CRYSTAL(S) - SAPPHIRE FRONT AND BACK DIAL - OPENWORKED STRAP - BLACK AND YELLOW RUBBER STRAP, BLACK PIN BUCKLE BLACK RUBBER AND YELLOW STRETCH STRAP, BLACK PIN BUCKLE MOVEMENT - CALIBRE 4K, MANUFACTURE (AMT), AUTOMATIC POWER RESERVE - 65 HOURS FUNCTIONS - HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS, CHRONOMETER-CERTIFIED AVAILABILITY - LIMITED TO 200 PCS.
