Robotic One: Swiss Designer Marcus Eilinger Unveils a New Era of Czech Watchmaking with Robot at Designblok
11. 10. 2025
The brand ROBOT is opening a new chapter of its story — and doing so in grand style. The ROBOTIC ONE model marks a new era for the Czech watchmaking manufactory, defined by ambition, precision, and confidence. For the first time, the brand’s very name became the inspiration for the design – bold, technically refined, and full of character.
The watch was designed by Swiss designer Marcus Eilinger, the creative mind behind iconic timepieces for IWC, Tudor, and H. Moser & Cie.. For ROBOT, he created a concept that bridges the Czech story with the global language of contemporary watchmaking — where Swiss engineering meets Czech craftsmanship.
ROBOTIC ONE is more than a watch. It is a manifesto of originality. The asymmetrical 904L steel case with a 43.2 mm diameter evokes a stylized robotic head; two subdials resemble eyes, while the galvanically brushed dial with embossed logo and luminous details forms an unmistakable look — technical, modern, and daring. The sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating protects the detailed dial, while the hand-polished hands play with light at every movement.
Through the transparent sapphire case back, a mechanical chronograph with automatic winding reveals itself – the Bohematic Robotic One R11242 calibre with a 55-hour power reserve. The 904L steel bracelet with a Precision Fit clasp and micro-adjustment ensures perfect comfort, while the SwapEasy system allows effortless transformation — from sporty rubber to elegant alligator leather in seconds.
The word robot, first introduced to the world by Czech writer Karel Čapek in 1920, has become a global symbol of innovation. The ROBOTIC ONE carries this Czech legacy into the present — as a watch with its own distinct identity. It merges Czech storytelling, Swiss engineering, and contemporary design. It’s not just about measuring time. It’s about identity, form, and the courage to stand out.
“ROBOTIC ONE is a design manifesto — a watch where story and identity are transformed into time. A bold fusion of function and aesthetics. For me, it represents a proud milestone in my legacy as a watch designer.”
— Marcus Eilinger, designer
