Crowex is a luxury watch manufacturer featured Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.
Description[]
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, CJ can buy the Silver Crowex and Gold Crowex watches from Didier Sachs for $8,000 and $5,000 respectively, both of which are the most expensive watches available in the game. Many rich pedestrians can also be seen wearing gold Crowex watches. A billboard can also be found in Rodeo, near the Didier Sachs store the watches are sold in. The company's slogan in 1992 is "When You're Too Rich To Care What Time It Is".
The brand also features in Grand Theft Auto IV as one of the brands featured on Peepthatshit.com. There is also a Crowex store in Leftwood, Alderney. In Grand Theft Auto V, Crowex billboards can be seen around Los Santos, with the slogan "Strap On Time". In Grand Theft Auto Online, it is possible to buy Crowex watches from clothing stories, and organizations can store and sell looted Crowex watches.
During the events of Grand Theft Auto Online, Crowex appears to have a rivalry with cheaper watch brand Kronos, with the inscriptions on purchasable Kronos watches claiming they are willing to pay more than Crowex for product placement.
Influence[]
Crowex's logo and watch designs are heavily based on Rolex and Tudor Watches. The Silver and Gold Crowex watches from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas appear to be based on the Rolex Datejust, while the "Chronosphere" watch in Grand Theft Auto Online resembles a cross between the Rolex Sea Dweller and Tudor Black Bay.
