Commentary
In a world where the news often leans toward the negative, Norqain has chosen to sprinkle some joy into our lives with their latest release the Norqain Freedom 60 Chrono “Enjoy Life” Special Edition. And what better symbol of pure happiness than ice cream? It’s a simple treat that never fails to bring a smile with every scoop.
You might wonder how did ice cream make its way onto a chronograph watch? The idea was born from an internal poll at Norqain HQ, where the team was asked what item made them happiest. The unanimous answer? Ice cream! This sweet theme isn’t just a quirky concept it’s thoughtfully integrated into the design. A playful ice cream motif is printed on the sapphire crystal caseback, and even more charmingly, a tiny ice cream appears on the date wheel every 7th day of the month, a gentle reminder to savor the simple joys in life.
At its core, the watch is powered by the reliable Norqain Caliber N19 based on the Sellita SW510, ensuring that this joyful creation doesn’t just look good, but performs exceptionally too. With its upbeat personality and playful design, the Norqain Freedom 60 Chrono “Enjoy Life” is more than a watch, it’s a daily reminder to celebrate life’s little pleasures.

SCOOP UP SUMMER WITH NORQAIN’S FREEDOM 60 CHRONO “ENJOY LIFE” SPECIAL EDITION – A COLOURFUL CALL TO “ENJOY LIFE”
Singapore, June 4: Anyone for ice cream? With summer arriving in Switzerland, NORQAIN – the independent family-owned Swiss watch brand – is delighted to present the Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm “Enjoy Life” Special Edition: a bright, playful take on the timeless sports chronograph, inspired by the fresh, joyful shades of gelato. This vibrant timepiece captures the uplifting spirit of summer and invites watch lovers to embrace the motto printed on its sapphire crystal caseback “Enjoy Life”.
In addition to injecting a dose of summer into the NORQAIN collection, this special edition stands out with two key design highlights. First, its three chronograph subdials and matching outer dial sectors appear in refreshing tones of green, pink, and blue – a first for the Freedom 60 Chrono. Second, on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of each month, the date display swaps its numeral for a whimsical illustration of a three-scoop ice cream cone. The message? A cheerful reminder to treat yourself to an ice cream every week and embrace life’s little pleasures – just like the pure, carefree joy of chasing down the ice cream truck as a kid.
Each timepiece comes in a special edition box designed to match the spirit of the watch and includes a pair of stylish sunglasses, allowing you to enjoy life in full colour from the very first unboxing.
Beyond its bright palette, the Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm “Enjoy Life” Special Edition is quickly recognisable as NORQAIN’s sporty everyday chronograph. The 40mm case, crown and pushers are all cast in polished stainless steel, as is the signature NORQAIN plate on the case’s left flank. As always, the NORQAIN plate is ready to be personalised with an engraving.
The celebration then continues with a spirited NORQAIN pool party at the Hilton Resorts World, bringing the colourful, playful energy of the watch to life and inviting guests to fully embrace the motto: “Enjoy Life.” These festivities mark the start of a series of “Ice Cream”-themed events and activations that will take place throughout the summer.
NORQAIN Founder and CEO Ben Küffer said: “People often ask me what NORQAIN’s purpose is. For me, it’s simple: we’re here to bring positive energy, to inspire joy, and to create watches that make people feel good. Every NORQAIN timepiece is designed with that spirit, and the Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm “Enjoy Life” Special Edition captures it perfectly. It’s summery, it’s fresh, and it puts a big smile on your face.
Completing the design, the watch is available with a stainless steel bracelet featuring brushed center links and a steel clasp, or a white rubber strap with signature NORQAIN stitches and a steel pin buckle. Inside beats the NORQAIN Calibre N19, a Swiss-made automatic mechanical chronograph offering a 62-hour power reserve – the perfect companion for sunny days and joyful moments.
The launch of this Ice Cream watch will kick off in Las Vegas with an exciting event that captures the carefree spirit of the summer season. First, NORQAIN’s esteemed retail partner, Bucherer, the globally renowned multi-brand watch retailer, will host an exclusive launch event.
The “Enjoy Life” Special Edition is a tribute to the kid in all of us. That little ice cream in the date window is more than a playful detail; it’s a reminder to take life a little less seriously, enjoy the ride, and keep that playful spirit alive. Whether it brings back memories of your own childhood or reflects the laughter of your kids today, the “Enjoy Life” captures that pure, feel-good energy.”
The Freedom 60 Chrono 40mm “Enjoy Life” Special Edition will be available from 4th June and is priced at SGD7,050 with a white rubber strap and pin buckle, or SGD 7,200 with a stainless steel bracelet.
