Franck Muller Launches Limited Edition Solana Watch Series of 1,111 Units
Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller has launched a limited-edition series of watches inspired by Solana, embedding unique QR codes linked to users' Solana addresses. Key details include:
- Collection limited to 1,111 units
- Price set at 20,000 Swiss francs (approximately $24,300)
- Marketed as a "phygital" symbol of identity and ownership in the crypto space
However, flaunting crypto wealth poses risks, as evidenced by multiple physical attacks on individuals associated with the cryptocurrency industry this year. Notable incidents include:
- Kidnapping attempts involving the family of crypto platform CEO Pierre Noizat
- Abduction of a crypto millionaire's father in Paris
- Kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland and his wife
The collection may appeal to collectors but could deter public display due to safety concerns.
