Collection World CUP MMXVIII - Limited to 300 Pieces only
Sales will start may 2018 - PREORDERs HAVE STARTED

The World Cup MMXVIII Limited Edition, created in special celebration of Icelands men?s national football team qualifying for the FIFA World Cup championship for the very first time. With a population of around 330,000, Iceland is also by far the smallest nation ever to qualify for the World Cup championship. The team also made history by reaching the qualifying for the UEFA Euro Cup back in 2016 and JS Watch Co. Reykjavik also designed a limited edition watch in celebration of that event which sold out very quickly so now we are doing it again. Sales for the World Cup watch will start in May 2018, the first 30 numbers for this limited edition are reserved for the National team members but we have already started to take down names and reserve numbers for the rest of the watches.

We're at it again !

When it was clear that the Iceland had qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the very first time, the Captain of the Icelandic National Team Aron Gunnarsson came to visit us expressing the team members' interest in creating a new watch in special celebration of this remarkable achievement, we then started to lay down some ideas for the design of the watch. We wanted to keep on using the national colours of the Icelandic flag like we did for the Euro MMXVI watch we made when this team also made history by qualifying for the UEFA Euro Cup back in 2016, but we also wanted to add more small details into the watch to reflect the spirit that has built up around this special National team.

In the dial design you will find small details like "Fyrir Ísland" translated "For Iceland", which is also written inside the small neck label on all the shirts of the team members, you will also find numbers from 1 - 11 in silver for the players on the pitch and the 12 in red for the twelfth player dedicated to the undying support of the Icelandic fans who have been given the collective title ?Tólfan? (?The Twelve?), as they are considered to be the twelfth player in the team. The minutes in blue from 0 to 45 representing the Game Time and the 45 to 60 minutes in red saying Half Time instead of 50 and 55 minutes, this idea originally came from a game time clock that was located on the National stadium "Laugardalsvöllur" and also "Melavöllur" where Master Watchmaker Gilbert played Soccer with his team Fylkir back in the day. For battle you also need a weapon so we designed a blue second hand  in the shape of a viking spear. The World Cup MMXVIII logo has a reversed R as a special memorandum for the nation
hosting this years FIFA World Cup, but Russia has it's own special alphabet with a reversed R so we found it ideal to use it in their honour although it is pronounced as "ja" in the Russian language -  ja or já also means yes in Icelandic.

The back of the watch is engraved with JS Watch Co. Reykjavik,  World Cup MMXVIII and another special detail reflecting the spirit that has built up around this unique National team "VAR ?A? EKKI"  a celebration chant the team whispers in the locker room after victories. Direct translation would be something like "WASN'T IT SO?" And everyone in the team responds to it by shouting "YEAH!"

To complete the design we engraved a small soccer ball on the crown filled with ceramic blue colour. The case is individually numbered between the lugs.
