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.
