Citizen has just delivered a knockout punch to the world of watch collaborations with a release that’s straight out of the pages of a comic book. In an epic team-up, Citizen has joined forces with none other than legendary Marvel artist Adam Kubert to unleash the Stark, Kinda Sorta Famous AW2095-41W Box Set. This watch fuses horology and heroics in one dazzling KAPOW! of dial design.
This isn’t just another Marvel-branded timepiece. Oh no. This is the real deal: Citizen worked directly with Kubert himself, the artist whose pencils have defined Spider-Man, Wolverine, and X-Men for generations of fans. The result? A dial that looks like it’s jettisoned right out of a splash page and onto your wrist.
Kubert: The Hero Behind the Heroes!
Adam Kubert isn’t just a comic book artist; he’s part of the royal family of comics. His career spans decades at Marvel, and his work has helped shape the look and feel of their most beloved characters. His art is kinetic, explosive, and instantly recognizable to fans everywhere!
Now, that artistry has been miniaturized for your wrist, with a dial illustration so dynamic you half expect Iron Man to fly right through the crystal, “KRRAAASH!” It’s not just a picture; it’s motion, energy, storytelling all distilled into a timepiece.
And the fun doesn’t stop at the dial. Kubert also designed the exclusive collector’s pin that comes with the watch, turning this release into a two-piece collector’s set worthy of any true believer’s display shelf.
Style with Super Powers!
The watch itself packs a punch in both design and tech. The black IP stainless-steel case and rally-style strap serve as a tough-as-nails backdrop, with fiery red stitching leading up to the dial—highlighting Iron Man’s suit and adding a sense of speed and energy, especially when paired with the lumed contrail Mr. Stark is leaving behind.
But the real superpower here? Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. Powered by light (any light!), this watch never needs a battery. No stopping, no stalling, no villain called Dead Battery sneaking in to ruin the day. It’s relentless, just like Tony himself.
BLAM! A Collaboration First!
We’ve seen character watches before, sure. Logos slapped on dials, symbols printed under sapphire. But this? This is something different.
Citizen went straight to the source. By bringing Adam Kubert into the process, they tapped into the living history of Marvel comics. It’s a bold move, and one that feels like a WHOOSH! of fresh air in the world of watch collaborations. Imagine if more brands followed suit, calling in artists, writers, and illustrators to leave their mark on horology. If this watch is the origin story, we’re begging for the sequel.
For Collectors and Fans Everywhere!
Who’s this watch for? Everyone who’s ever cracked open a comic and felt their heart race. Everyone who’s ever shouted “Excelsior!” after finishing a page. Everyone who wants to check the time and see their favorite hero flying right at their face!
It’s for Marvel die-hards, Iron Man superfans, and watch collectors who aren’t afraid of a little pop-art punch on their wrist. And for those of us who grew up with Kubert’s work? This is a chance to wear a piece of that magic every day.
Final Panel
The Stark, Kinda Sorta Famous box set isn’t just a watch. It’s a crossover event, a celebration of heroes, art, and watchmaking. It’s Citizen proving that timepieces can be both serious and seriously fun.
So, here’s the bottom line: if you want to feel a WHAM! of nostalgia, a ZING! of artistry, and a POW! of horological swagger, this watch is for you.
Because heroes may be timeless, but with Citizen Eco-Drive, so is your watch.
