If you\u2019ve ever wanted to have your Solana wallet on your wrist while flexing your wealth, Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller is making that a reality.<\/p>\n

The watch market is stepping into the Web3 ecosystem with a Solana-inspired, limited-edition series of watches <\/a>that contain an embedded unique QR code to directly link to the user\u2019s Solana address.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Solana-inspired watch collection is limited to 1,111 units that will set buyers back 20,000 Swiss francs (around $24,300).<\/p>\n

While the watches feature a unique design that could appeal to Solana ecosystem participants, their launch comes at a time when, unfortunately, flaunting crypto-related wealth is becoming risky.<\/p>\n

The cryptocurrency industry has seen dozens of physical attacks just this year, with a notable case<\/a> seeing the daughter and grandson of Pierre Noizat, CEO of crypto platform Paymium, being targeted in a daytime attempted kidnapping. The attack was filmed and shared on social media. <\/p>\n

While that kidnapping attempt failed, an earlier one in the same city<\/a> saw the father of a crypto millionaire get abducted. Police managed to rescue the man, but not before his finger was severed. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the co-founder of hardware wallet maker Ledger, David Balland, along with his wife, was abducted from his home and saw similar treatment. The couple was later rescued by authorities,<\/a> and a ransom that had been paid out was seized.<\/p>\n

There have been many other similar attacks in recent months.<\/p>\n

Franck Muller is pitching the collection as a “phygital” (physical-digital) symbol of identity and ownership in the crypto age. While the watch is certainly a piece of crypto mythos, it may be a collectible that investors may not want to show off.<\/p>\n
