AKA and DJ Zinhle’s four-year-old daughter launches her first watch

With two powerhouse musicians in the form of AKA and DJ Zinhle as parents, Kairo Owethu Forbes has become arguably one of South Africa’s most influential children.

At the tender age of four, Kairo has collaborated with her mom’s watch brand, ERA, to launch her first watch – the Kairo Watch with ERA.

“With a prominent crown feature and Kairo branding, the Kairo Watch symbolises the passing down of a legacy as one would pass down a crown from mother to daughter,” read part of a statement issued about the launch.

“Kairo has been a brand since she was born. It’s been a natural progression to get to this stage of her releasing her own product, the first of many to come,” said her grandmother Lynn “Glammy” Forbes.

ERA sales manager Masego Molefinyana added: “Kairo is very aware of her brand and the watch that she has released which made this collaboration an authentic one with a great fit. When you ask Kairo about it, she’s clear to say: “This is my business”. This is the first influencer campaign for ERA and we look forward to releasing this limited edition. The Kairo Watch will be available for purchase individually or as a Legacy Combo (Mommy&Me) this festive season.”

According to ERA, the Kairo Watch with campaign tagline, ‘It’s My Time’, represents Kairo’s brand ‘DNA’.

The watch is packaged as an educational offering. It comes with a colouring box for children to personalise. The imagery on the box speaks to elements that Kairo enjoys.
