The response to the AIM A380 Alpha Series has exceeded anything we imagined.
What began as a single aircraft transformed into a limited collection of Swiss-made mechanical watches has become something much bigger: a community of collectors who want to wear a genuine piece of aviation history on their wrist.
Today, we’re expanding the Alpha Series options, while retaining the overall number of pieces made. (380)
For the first time, collectors can now choose from seven different A380 aircraft, each with its own story, history and journey. Every watch contains a genuine fragment of aircraft skin recovered from one specific A380. That material is carefully preserved, prepared and integrated into the watch in the same way, creating a direct connection between the wearer and the aircraft from which it came.
Only difference is that the engraving on the rear will reflect the aircraft inside.

While these aircraft once carried millions of passengers across the globe, their flying days have now come to an end. Some were dismantled for parts, some recycled, and some carefully preserved through aviation heritage projects. AIM takes a different approach.
Rather than allowing every part of these remarkable machines to disappear into history, we recover and preserve authentic sections of the airframe.
Each piece is individually cut, inspected and integrated into a Swiss mechanical timepiece, giving the aircraft a second life beyond the runway. No two pieces of aircraft skin are identical. Each carries its own subtle marks, textures and character developed during years of service at 43,100 feet (when she could get there😉)
The result is more than a watch.
It is a tangible connection to one of the most iconic aircraft ever built.
Seven aircraft.
Seven histories.
One opportunity to choose the story you wear.
Limited by History
The Alpha Series remains limited to just 380 watches worldwide.
Availability of each aircraft variant depends entirely on the quantity and condition of authentic airframe material recovered.
Some A380s are significantly rarer than others, making certain versions far more limited. Once the available aircraft skin from a specific registration has been used, no further watches can be produced from that aircraft.
When it’s gone, it’s gone forever!
