Everything

Cradle Adapter V1 is a wrist conversion system for Royal Pop owners. It consists of a custom cradle adapter frame, an FKM rubber strap, and a PW deployant clasp. The Royal Pop module drops into the cradle socket and is held by a 0.7mm retaining lip — turning the pocket-watch format into a wearable wristwatch.

FKM (fluoroelastomer) is a premium rubber compound used in high-end watch straps. It is denser, more durable, and more resistant to sweat, heat, and UV than standard silicone. The ribbed top texture gives the strap a technical sport-luxury aesthetic. It should feel more like a Rolex or AP rubber strap than a generic silicone band.

The FKM rubber strap connects to the Cradle Adapter V1 via standard 22mm spring bars through the integrated lug holes. This is the same method used by all major Swiss watchmakers. A spring bar tool is included. Any standard 22mm strap can be used as a replacement.

The system is designed around the Royal Pop modular format with a 40.35mm inner socket. Final compatibility will be confirmed after prototype testing is complete. Pre-order customers will be notified of confirmed compatibility before any balance is charged.

No. The goal is a completely non-permanent cradle system. The Royal Pop module sits inside the socket and is held by the 0.7mm retaining lip overhang. Nothing is drilled, glued, or mechanically attached to the watch. The module can be removed at any time by pressing from the rear — the watch returns to its original condition immediately.

The first drop will open after prototype testing is complete. Pre-order customers will be notified first and receive priority fulfilment. Estimated dispatch is post prototype testing — we will update the timeline as testing progresses.

Target pricing will be confirmed after prototype and material testing. Pre-order deposits secure your place in the first drop. The balance will only be requested when your unit is confirmed and ready to ship.

The first drop is focused on the UK and Europe. Wider international shipping will be available depending on demand from the first drop. All pre-order customers outside these regions will be contacted to confirm shipping options before any charge is taken.
