The Swiss watchmaker is betting big on Bitcoin despite its volatile nature. A new titanium timepiece doubles as a Bitcoin wallet.

‍

In his horological oddities, Muller has always strayed from conventional watchmaking norms, and this limited-edition watch is no exception. You can check your Bitcoin balance on the go with this high-tech wrist candy, which is aptly titled “Free the Money. Free the World.” It also lets you tell time.

‍

The watch comes with a two-piece set called "Deep Cold Storage" that means the coins are stored offline, rather than online, in your wrist's "cold wallet."

With a flick of the wrist, you can add bitcoins to your wallet or check your balance with the help of a sealed USB containing the private key and the unique public address.

‍

With its black brushed titanium finish and matching black leather strap, the watch has a sleek and sporty aesthetic. The eye-catching Bitcoin logo and striking green and white accents are visible beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal case. With a 42-hour power reserve, the watch is powered by the Swiss automatic Calibre FM 0800 movement.

A functional Bitcoin watch known as the Vanguard Encrypto was released by Muller's eponymous brand in 2019 in partnership with Regal Assets. Muller's fusion of watchmaking and cryptocurrency is nothing new. However, this latest release couldn't have been more timely. Despite the recent 11 percent plunge, even some of the most skeptic financial analysts believe Bitcoin will continue to rise despite its relatively short history.
