The TTT Knievel
The TTT Knievel is a limited-edition timepiece crafted from the legendary “Shark Jump” Harley-Davidson XR750, Evel Knievel’s iconic last stunt bike.
Evel Knievel, born Robert Craig Knievel, captivated audiences as a daring American motorcycle stunt performer, known for his breathtaking feats. Even today, his name evokes a blend of spectacular showmanship and a touch of madness, inspiring countless aspiring riders.
The much-anticipated Shark Jump, Evel’s final stunt, emerged during the 1970s shark craze. Although the setup seemed less perilous, an unexpected rehearsal led to Evel’s crash, marking the end of his daredevil career.

Chicago 1977
Evel’s Final Jump
At 38, Evel Knievel was approached by CBS for a live event in January 1977 titled “Evel Knievel’s Death Defiers.”
The main attraction, “The Shark Jump,” aimed to leap over a large indoor saltwater pool filled with sharks, tapping into the 1970s shark paranoia fueled by the film Jaws.

Design & DNA
Little Risk
Little Reward
Our mission was to create timepieces that reflect Evel Knievel’s extraordinary life and daring stunts. Here’s a brief overview of the TTT Knievel watches’ design journey.
At the heart of each watch is a star-shaped marker at 12 o’clock, crafted from recycled aluminum sourced from the handlebar levers of Evel Knievel’s XR750 Shark Bike. This unique material gives each TTT Knievel watch a distinctive character.

EVEL KNIEVELS trademark signature has been printed on the inside of the caseback glass. The rotor is designed to mimic the spoked wheels of the XR750 stuntbike.
