Chronoswiss Unveils the Delphis Art Deco: Where 1920s Geometry Meets Modern Mechanics

APRIL 10 2026    |    Watches and Wonders 2026

Chronoswiss proudly presents the Delphis Art Deco, a striking new edition that bridges the design philosophy of the Roaring Twenties with modern mechanical watchmaking. Housed in a 42mm Grade 5 titanium case with a matte finish, this limited-edition timepiece pays homage to an era celebrated for its architectural clarity, geometric symmetry, and creative freedom. Combined with a black nubuck strap, the piece achieves a balanced, modern presence that elevates the emblematic Delphis complication first introduced in 1996.

At the center of the watch is a lasered, nickel-coated main dial featuring a subtle three-dimensional texture in a refined grey tone. The upper stage hosts the iconic Delphis display: a digital jumping hour at 12 o'clock, a sweeping retrograde minute hand, and a subdial at 6 o'clock. Highlighted in a captivating "Art-Deco Blue" lacquer over a hand-guilloché base engraved on century-old machines at Atelier Lucerne, the subdial is beautifully accented by a gold-plated minute ring that adds a warm, geometric contrast.

Beating inside is the manufacture automatic Caliber C.6004, developed in partnership with La Joux-Perret. Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, this 37-jewel movement delivers a 55-hour power reserve and features ruthenium-plated bridges decorated with Geneva stripes and a skeletonized tungsten rotor. The 17-piece solid titanium case incorporates Chronoswiss’s signature onion crown, patented Autobloc screw lugs, and a robust 10 bar (100m) water resistance rating.

Strictly limited to just 150 pieces worldwide, the Chronoswiss Delphis Art Deco is a sophisticated mechanical tribute to 1920s design reimagined for contemporary collectors. Blending heritage hand-craftsmanship with modern engineering, it represents a bold new chapter for one of the brand's most recognizable models. The Delphis Art Deco is now available for order through authorized Chronoswiss retailers and official channels.

A Star Fragment, Guardian of Time: The Grand Planetarium Eccentric Meteorite

Time and space converge in the latest masterpiece of haute horlogerie: the Grand Planetarium Eccentric Meteorite. This extraordinary timepiece is crafted from a genuine meteorite fragment—once part of an asteroid’s core, drifting through space for billions of years before falling to Earth 50,000 years ago. Now, this celestial relic has been transformed into an exceptional watch, uniting cosmic heritage with unparalleled horological innovation.

At the heart of this timepiece lies a groundbreaking complication: the Eccentric Planetarium, the only mechanical Grand Planetary Complication in the world that accurately displays all eight planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth and her Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—moving in real time around the Sun. This breathtaking mechanism captures the celestial dance of our Solar System with unmatched precision, making it a true marvel of both astronomy and watchmaking.

A Celestial Fusion of Science and Art
Master watchmaker Pim Koeslag has meticulously sculpted this timepiece, ensuring that its construction reflects the grandeur of its cosmic origins. The meteorite case, weighing 47 grams, is carefully crafted out of a 1.09 kg space stone. This extraordinary material shaped by the universe itself, features a unique Widmanstätten pattern, formed over millions of years of slow cooling in space, making each case truly one of a kind.

The dial is a celestial spectacle in itself: crafted from aventurine glass (goldfluss), it mimics the night sky, complete with zodiac constellations. The Eccentric Planetarium features hand-painted planetary orbits, while the meteorite dial ring, set between Mars and Jupiter, signifies the asteroid belt and contains real fragments of a martian nakhlite meteorite —a piece of another world encased within this exceptional timepiece.


A Timepiece Beyond Time
Encased in domed sapphire crystal, the 44mm meteorite case showcases the celestial ballet within. The sapphire crystal case-back reveals the movement’s intricate craftsmanship, while the dark blue hand-stitched leather strap and platinum folding clasp complete this cosmic masterpiece.

“The Grand Planetarium Eccentric Meteorite is more than a watch. It is a link between humanity and the cosmos, a way to wear the universe on your wrist,” says Pim Koeslag.

This timepiece is a tribute to time itself. From a star’s death to an asteroid’s journey, from its fall to Earth to its transformation into an exceptional watch—each second it measures is an echo of the vast cosmic history it carries.

An Exclusive, Limited Edition for Collectors
The Grand Planetarium Eccentric Meteorite is available in a strictly limited edition, with a maximum of 3 pieces, depending on the avaibility and quality of the rough meteorite material. So far, Christiaan van der Klaauw has been able to produce only 2 pieces from the available material, making this timepiece an exceptionally rare collector’s item. This extraordinary creation offers the unique opportunity to own a fragment of a star, forever marking the passage of time.

Chronoswiss Strike Two Stella Blue and Nugget: Where Precision Meets Personality

In the world of independent watchmaking, few designs capture the essence of mechanical artistry and thematic storytelling like the Chronoswiss Strike Two collection. With its signature horizontal regulator layout and exposed gear architecture, the collection is a canvas for both cosmic inspiration and historical homage. The Stellar Blue and Nugget editions, though forged from different visions, share a unified spirit: precision in motion, elevated by craftsmanship.

Architecture of Time

At the heart of both models lies the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000, developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret. This automatic movement delivers a robust 55-hour power reserve, beating at 4 Hz (28,800 A/h). A skeletonized tungsten rotor, ruthenium-plated Geneva-cut bridges, and polished components reflect the brand’s commitment to mechanical transparency and refinement. Viewed through a sapphire caseback, the movement reveals a radial geometry that echoes the symmetry of the dial above.

The horizontal regulator layout defines the Strike Two identity: a floating hour display at 3 o’clock, central luminous minutes, and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. Two architectural bridges span the dial, exposing the gear train and anchoring the visual rhythm of the watch.

Stellar Blue – A Tribute to Cosmic Velocity

The Stellar Blue edition draws inspiration from the brilliance and motion of stellar light. Its dial features a deep blue CVD-coated base, hand-guillochéd with linear engraving that mimics the trajectory of light through space. A silver rhodium-plated subdial adds contrast, while the luminous minute hand glides across the dial like a comet in orbit.

Encased in matte grey sandblasted stainless steel, the watch offers a futuristic silhouette that complements its celestial theme. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and 12.7 mm in thickness, it wears with elegance and presence. The strap is crafted from white nubuck calfskin leather, lined with blue Alcantara, echoing the dial’s cosmic hue.

Nugget – A Homage to Discovery and Rarity

In contrast, the Strike Two Nugget is a celebration of terrestrial treasure — a mechanical gold rush forged in solid 18ct red gold. Inspired by the thrill of unearthing something precious, the Nugget edition elevates the Strike Two architecture with warmth, weight, and richness.

Its anthracite dial, hand-guillochéd and treated with a galvanic finish, reveals depth and texture. A glossy white lacquered small seconds subdial punctuates the monochrome palette, while the exposed gearwork beneath the hour display adds mechanical drama.

The case, polished and sandblasted, retains the 40 mm diameter and 12.7 mm thickness, but its golden sheen transforms the watch into a statement of rarity. Paired with a black nubuck calfskin strap lined in blue Alcantara, the Nugget balances boldness with refinement..

Two Visions, One Philosophy

Whether inspired by the stars or the soil, the Strike Two Stellar Blue and Strike Two Nugget embody Chronoswiss’s philosophy of independent design, mechanical excellence, and thematic storytelling. Limited to 100 pieces each, these timepieces are not just instruments of time — they are expressions of discovery, crafted for collectors who seek meaning in every detail.

Traditional craftsmanship with modern appeal - Moritz Grossmann TREMBLAGE Green

Moritz Grossmann proudly unveils the TREMBLAGE Green, a limited edition timepiece that redefines elegance through heritage craftsmanship and a bold new aesthetic. Available in rose gold and white gold, with only 8 pieces of each, this extraordinary watch is a tribute to the art of traditional engraving and the timeless beauty of horological design.

At the heart of the TREMBLAGE Green lies a dial crafted from German silver, meticulously hand-engraved using the rare tremblage technique. This centuries-old method creates a fine, matte texture that diffuses light with a soft, meditative glow. The dial is finished in a deep, complex green—symbolizing renewal, harmony, and depth—making it a standout piece that remains understated and refined.

Encased in a 41 mm case of 750/000 rose or white gold, the watch is powered by the in-house calibre 100.1, a hand-wound movement visible through a sapphire crystal case back. Every component is hand-finished, from the Glashütte ribbing and polished bevels to the engraved balance cock. The watch features hours, minutes, and a small seconds display with a stop-second function, all operated via a gold crown and lateral pusher.

Completing the look is a hand-stitched dark brown alligator leather strap, offering both comfort and sophistication. The TREMBLAGE Green is not just a timepiece—it is a celebration of “Schönstes deutsches Handwerk” (the finest German craftsmanship), brought to life with modern sensibility and timeless appeal.
