Stallone followed this with an accessory not usually associated with hard-rocking lead guitarists, bikers or cinematic mercenaries: the Chaos Cufflinks, which add an air of danger to any sober suit. Like the pen, the Chaos Cufflinks found an audience that appreciated the medieval origins. In 2013 Montegrappa completes the triumvirate of Chaotic treasures as Sylvester Stallone and Montegrappa present the Chaos Automatic Analogue Wristwatch. Hand-made in northern Italy, where its mechanical movement is housed by artisans, the Chaos timepiece is an ideal partner for the pen and the cufflinks that inspired it. The eye-catching case is fashioned from either silver or gold, with black PVD-coated back. It features the signature skull-and- serpents motif that continues around the case, even including a small, engraved skull on the winding crown. More editions will be offered in hand-applied, full-colour enamels. The case is complemented by a leather strap with contrasting edges, terminating in a buckle with the skull motif. Within the forged sterling silver or 18k solid gold case beats a Swiss heart. Montegrappa has chosen one of the world’s most dependable automatic watch movements to power the Chaos, the renowned ETA 2824. Only a limited number of Chaos Automatic Analogue Wristwatches will be produced, each a portable work of art and exuding the same ferocious spirit as the Chaos Pen.
