DELPHIS ART DECO

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Armin Strom Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Blue, a masterpiece of Swiss horology that combines technical innovation with glacial elegance.

Design & Aesthetics

The watch features a 41 mm stainless steel case and an off-center transparent sapphire crystal dial with a subdial. The main plate, crafted by Kari Voutilainen, showcases a stunning glacial blue guilloché pattern. The color palette of silvery greys and soft blues is inspired by the serene beauty of Swiss glacial lakes. The watch is completed with a blue nubuck leather strap with ice blue stitching.

Movement & Mechanics

Powered by the proprietary Caliber ASB19, the Gravity Equal Force Ultimate Sapphire Blue is the world’s first automatic movement with a patented stop-work declutch mechanism and Geneva cross. This ensures consistent torque and precision across a 72-hour power reserve. The movement is visible through both the front and back sapphire crystals, and features hand-finished components with perlage, Geneva stripes, and circular graining.

Craftsmanship

Each watch is assembled twice to ensure reliability and refinement. Every component is hand-finished in Biel/Bienne, emphasizing traditional techniques and an open-worked design.

Founded in 1967 and revitalized in 2009 by Claude Greisler and Serge Michel, the brand is known for exposing movement mechanics on the dial side.

Chronoswiss proudly unveils its latest masterpiece within the Modern Mechanical era, introducing the Small Second Stone Collection featuring stunning natural stone dials. The Small Second Jasper and Small Second Serpentine models pay tribute to the brand's remarkable journey, bridging its origins in Munich with its creative home in Lucerne. By uniting millions of years of geological history with over four decades of independent watchmaking, these timepieces transform nature itself into an exquisite canvas for mechanical artistry.

The narrative behind these watches stretches back millions of years before the creation of the first mechanical movement. The Small Second Serpentine features a striking green stone sourced from the region surrounding Zermatt and the Matterhorn, representing an ancient ocean floor pushed upward during continental collisions to form the Alps. Meanwhile, the Small Second Jasper utilizes the painted stone of the Earth from Germany, honoring the foundational roots of founder Gerd Rüdiger Lang and connecting with the historic stone-cutting traditions of Idar-Oberstein.

Because these creations rely on genuine natural minerals, every single dial is entirely unique. The Small Second Jasper captivates the eye with a landscape of warm beige, brown, and ivory tones housed in a refined stainless steel case, while the Small Second Serpentine presents a vivid green dial paired with a sophisticated two-tone stainless steel and 18-karat red gold case. Limited to just 50 pieces each worldwide, these wristwatches offer collectors an exclusive expression of organic beauty and sophisticated luxury.

At the heart of these models lies the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000, an automatic movement that delivers an approximate 55-hour power reserve. The movement features a skeletonized tungsten rotor and Geneva-striped bridges, which can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. Housed within a 40-millimeter case featuring the signature fluted bezel and onion crown, the design maintains visual balance by placing the hand-guilloched small seconds subdial at the 9 o'clock position.

The Small Second Stone Collection stands as a pure and captivating expression of the Chronoswiss design philosophy. Marrying meticulous craftsmanship with exceptional horological engineering, these timepieces invite connoisseurs to wear a fragment of geological history on their wrists. Each watch successfully honors the past while pushing the boundaries of contemporary independent watchmaking into an exciting future.

In the refined sphere of independent watchmaking, DANIEL ROTH has introduced a sophisticated new expression of its Extra Plat collection, elevating the rarity of the line while retaining an understated and disciplined elegance. Rooted in the firm belief of its legendary founder that a thin dress watch represents the ultimate epitome of functional elegance, this model is meticulously designed from the ground up to balance modern sophistication with time-honored craft. Cloaked in 950 platinum—a noble metal long synonymous with rarity and traditional savoir-faire—the watch establishes a quiet yet unmistakable presence on the wrist that will immediately resonate with serious connoisseurs.

The defining silhouette of this timepiece remains the signature double-ellipse case, an iconic geometry originally created by master watchmaker Daniel Roth to beautifully frame complex horological mechanisms. To complement this distinctive shape, downward-sloping lugs have been elegantly integrated to ensure optimal wrist comfort while providing a handsome architectural contrast against the light-tan calfskin leather strap. The dial base is forged from solid white gold, displaying a mesmerizing pinstripe guilloché texture executed entirely by hand using a traditional rose engine. Each line is individually carved with masterful control over depth and spacing, beautifully bordered by a gold minute disc finished with a classic filet sauté edge and sharp black typography.

Beneath this stunning facade lies the core of the timepiece: the ultra-thin, hand-wound manufacture Calibre DR002, fully developed and assembled at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton under the expert guidance of master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini. Tasked with striking the perfect balance between chronometric precision and a generous power reserve within a slim 3.1 mm structure, the watchmakers increased the movement's frequency to 4 Hz. To sustain this high frequency without sacrificing energy efficiency or structural stability, the calibre incorporates a specially refined balance wheel featuring a variable-inertia geometry and adjustable counterweights.

An open sapphire caseback reveals the true artistic discipline of the manufacture, where technical engineering and aesthetic restraint seamlessly converge. The movement's bridges are decorated with demanding hand-finishing details, most notably the internal angles which are rendered in a rare, rounded bercé form. Requiring at least twice the execution time of a standard flat bevel, this traditional decoration involves polishing a precise curved radius along the edges to create a brilliant, uniform profile. Shaped and hand-polished in-house using a traditional cabron tool, these components reinforce the brand's unwavering commitment to its guiding philosophy: "La Montre Objet d'Art".
