The Accutron Spaceview Evolution x Hudson Whiskey (28A209) is an extraordinary limited-edition release of just 144 pieces worldwide, uniting two celebrated New York icons. Accutron, renowned for its pioneering watchmaking innovations, and Hudson Whiskey, acclaimed for its handcrafted American whiskey. This exclusive collaboration embodies the shared values of craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation, resulting in a truly distinctive collector's timepiece. Featuring a striking blackout open-work dial, rose gold-tone accents inspired by the distillery's copper stills, and signature green details that pay tribute to Hudson Whiskey's branding, the 28A209 is a sophisticated fusion of modern horology and artisanal design. Each watch is individually numbered on the case back, underscoring its rarity and exclusivity.
Powering the watch is Accutron's revolutionary NS30 Electrostatic Movement, the world's first movement driven by electrostatic energy. Unlike traditional automatic or quartz movements, the NS30 harnesses energy generated by twin electrostatic turbines that spin through natural wrist motion. This energy is stored in an onboard accumulator and powers two independent motors: one dedicated to the remarkably smooth sweeping seconds hand and another driving the hour and minute hands. An intelligent power-saving system automatically pauses the seconds hand after several minutes of inactivity while the watch continues to keep perfect time, instantly resuming operation with a simple motion of the wrist. This groundbreaking technology represents one of the most significant advancements in contemporary watchmaking.
The 43.5mm black ion-plated stainless steel case showcases the Spaceview Evolution's updated architecture, with the movement rotated 30 degrees to create a fresh, dynamic presentation and reposition the crown at 2 o'clock. A scratch-resistant domed sapphire crystal provides exceptional clarity while revealing the intricate open-work movement beneath. The blackout dial is accented by luminous white hour markers and hands, green contrast screws honoring Hudson Whiskey, and a rose gold-tone tuning fork and sweeping seconds hand inspired by the copper equipment used in whiskey production. Completing the watch is a premium black calfskin leather strap with green contrast stitching and a hidden rose gold-tone Hudson Whiskey bottle emblem on the underside, secured by a deployant clasp for exceptional comfort. With 50 meters (166 feet) of water resistance, the 28A209 is well suited for everyday luxury wear.
The Accutron Spaceview Evolution x Hudson Whiskey 28A209 is far more than a luxury watch. It's a celebration of New York craftsmanship, technological innovation, and exclusivity. With only 144 pieces produced worldwide, this exceptional collaboration offers collectors an opportunity to own one of the rarest modern Accutron releases. Combining revolutionary electrostatic technology, premium finishing, distinctive collaboration-specific design elements, and outstanding collectible appeal, the 28A209 stands as a remarkable showcase of what can be achieved when two iconic American brands come together in pursuit of excellence.
