Australia's Daily Mail reported that Rumble's timepieces are worth up to A$2,300, and only 200 have been made.

Phillips took to social media to congratulate her hubby on his new venture, writing: "Extremely proud of my husband who has spent the last 2 years designing to immaculate detail this exquisite Swiss made timepiece."

Rumble spent time in Switzerland during the brand's development process, posting a series of pictures to Instagram as he travelled to Basil and Zurich.

The former Fast Crew star's foray into timepieces comes after his success as the co-founder of Culet Jewellery. The brand, established in 2008, specialises in custom made engagement rings, and later opened a retail store in Takapuna.

The 'Take Me Higher' hitmaker proposed to Phillips during a holiday in Hong Kong in 2013, and the duo said 'I do' in Bali the following year with the bride wearing a Khalil gown.

The happy ending followed a tumultuous few years for the New Zealand-born model, who was diagnosed with stage three cervical cancer in 2009.
