Kentex Unveils Original Watches Inspired by 'Friedren's Funeral'

Kentex, a renowned Japanese watchmaker known for its collaboration projects, is set to launch two exclusive watches inspired by the hit TV anime 'Friedren's Funeral' as part of its '&C' project. This initiative is a fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and anime culture, showcasing the brand's dedication to unique collaborations.

Scheduled for pre-order starting June 19, 2026, these original timepieces capture the essence of the anime's magical world through exquisite designs that reflect two distinct spells used by the show's protagonist, Friedren. The enchanted watches feature custom-crafted cases that embody the visual themes of the spells 'Zoltalark' and 'Flower Magic'.

The Zoltalark Edition

The Zoltalark model draws inspiration from the spell known for its lethal capability, representing the advanced offensive magic that has been refined through human understanding. Limited to just 500 pieces, this watch flaunts a shimmering blue dial that evokes the deep darkness of the night. The sparkling details on the dial symbolically represent the moment of magical energy release, capturing the spell's intensity.

At the 12 o'clock index, you'll find the 'Mirror Lotus Ring' gifted by the hero Himmel, while the indices at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock draw from Friedren's ear accessory. The delicate details of the yield the index elements, offering a direct connection to the anime's narrative.

The second hand, modeled after Friedren's wand, gracefully traces a path on the luminescent blue dial, marking the passage of time as if guided by magic itself. In low light, the intricate Zoltalark pattern glows ethereally, heightening the watch's enchanting allure.

The case back is inscribed with a unique serial number, ensuring each piece is collectible, and comes with a specially designed guarantee card.

The Flower Magic Edition

In contrast, the Flower Magic model is a celebration of the spell that Friedren cherishes most, imparted to her by her master Flamme. Also limited to 500 pieces, this elegant watch features a dial made of Mother of Pearl (MOP), reminiscent of the serene moment when flower petals dance up into the air, embodying the gentle and beautiful nature of the spell.

Similar to the Zoltalark edition, the Flower Magic watch features the 'Mirror Lotus Ring' at 12 o'clock and references Friedren's ear accessory at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. Each detail intricately ties back to the animated story.

The second hand, designed to echo Friedren's wand, quietly moves across the Mother of Pearl surface, mimicking the delicate magic unfolding. The case back bears the design of Friedren along with a serial number, exclusive to this limited run, and the guarantee card showcases a tailored design for this model.
