Experience: An INDYCAR Weekend with CVSTOS and Juncos Hollinger Racing at the Inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington
This past weekend, we were in Arlington, Texas, as guests of CVSTOS—the independent Swiss luxury watchmaker known for its bold engineering and avant-garde design—for the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington, the newest addition to the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar. CVSTOS serves as the Official Timekeeper of Juncos Hollinger Racing for the 2026 season.
Introducing: Cvstos Challenge K. Khachanov Carbon. 50 Grams of Lighter, Darker, Louder.
When Cvstos and Karen Khachanov unveiled the first Challenge K. Khachanov last year, it landed as a focused proposition—a 55-piece limited edition in super-light aluminium, weighing only 55 grams, with blue PVD-coated bridges and a three split-bridge architecture that gave the CVS610 calibre real visual presence. At USD 19,800 it offered a lot of watch for the money, and the market agreed: it sold out.
Insider: CVSTOS Tourbillon 8 Sapphire. A Vertical Figure-8 Calibre Takes the Center Stage.
Available with a clear sapphire crystal case in two versions—blue and rhodium movement—, an 18K 5N red gold, or a titanium case, the new CVSTOS Tourbillon 8 is the latest novelty added to the brand’s lineup of complications. The new watches are available in a limited edition of 20 pieces each to celebrate 20 years since its launch in 2005.
Insider: CVSTOS Jetliner Challenge K. Khachanov. An Ultra-Light Limited Edition.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, CVSTOS has decided to partner with Russian tennis player Karen Khachanov and release a new watch within the Jetliner collection. The new CVSTOS Challenge K. Khachanov is cased in aluminum, features a blue PVD-coated skeletonized movement, and is secured by a blue fabric and velcro-fastened strap with leather appliques.
Insider: CVSTOS Metropolitan Chronograph Sapphire Rhodium. A 50-piece Limited Edition.
The CVSTOS Metropolitan Chronograph Sapphire Rhodium ref. F00112.4286001 is a fantastic option for under USD 50K boasting a generous but very wearable sapphire crystal case, a rhodium-skeletonized finished movement, and a very convenient automatic 30-minute chronograph. This watch is limited to only 50 pieces which adds up to the exclusivity of owning this timepiece.
