Building on the (totally merited) success of 2023’s Kermit ProPilot X, the Swiss watchmaker, Oris, has added a splash of sass to its line-up with a Miss Piggy version of the ProPilot X watch.
Collaborating with Disney, this timepiece has a striking hot pink dial, a diamond baguette crowning the 12 o’clock marker, and a sneaky glimpse of Miss Piggy herself through a spyhole on the back of the case. It’s all about blending style with some of that Muppet magic.
Oris’ second dalliance on the Muppet train follows the 2023 ProPilot X Kermit Edition, which took a more playful, albeit less glam, approach. Rolf Studer, Oris’ Co-CEO, couldn’t contain his excitement: “We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Miss Piggy, the world’s most fabulous pig.” And who can blame him? She’s practically a symbol for anyone who wants to strut their stuff with a wink and a nod.
The watch is crafted for the self-reliant and the fashion-forward, a nod to Piggy’s blend of glamour and resilience. Oris seemed to have taken a page right out of her book—combining that undeniable flair with a touch of luxury in the form of those twinkling diamonds. It’s the kind of timepiece that doesn’t just tell you the time; it makes a statement about who you are and how you want the world to see you.
Spinning the wheel a bit, the ProPilot X Miss Piggy doesn’t just cater to watch fans; it’s an homage to a cultural icon who’s managed to stay relevant and beloved across generations. Miss Piggy’s transition into high-end watchmaking is proof that her appeal remains as versatile and time-resistant (pun not intended) as ever.
There’s no denying the watch’s appeal to collectors, pop culture aficionados, and frankly anyone with a taste for a bit of whimsical luxury. It’s not just about checking off that Muppet-themed item on your list; it’s about adding something genuinely special to your collection. A perfect gift, perhaps, for those who want their accessories to jive with their individuality.
