This is not just a new timepiece — it’s a statement, a revolution, a new era. The PULSE One is the first of its kind, the birth of a new family, and most importantly, the bold next step in the Chronoswiss legacy.

Designed and crafted in Lucerne, this is "Modern Mechanical" in its purest form. Known for defying convention, the watchmakers at Chronoswiss have once again pushed the boundaries of mechanical artistry. For Watches & Wonders 2025, Chronoswiss has re- visioned, re-engineered, and redefined its core DNA. The result? A full-titanium powerhouse that pulses with precision, energy, and audacity - a true mechanical marvel forged by hand.

From the heart of Lucerne, the esteemed watchmakers at Chronoswiss are thrilled to announce the launch of three extraordinary timepieces that are set to revolutionize the luxury watchmaking landscape: The ReSec Helium Manufacture, ReSec Vertical Red Manufacture, and ReSec Obsidian Manufacture. These aren't just watches; they are marvels of engineering and design, crafted to push the very limits of horological artistry – all powered by the new Chronoswiss Manufacture Movement C.6005.

The finesse of curves With its graceful curves and wide apertures, Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton also stands out for its slimness. Its new case, with a diameter of 41.5 mm and a thickness of 8.4 mm, presents the flying tourbillon calibre in its purest expression. The Ultrathin Tourbillon Skeleton collection, adorned in red gold or platinum, is issued in two limited series featuring 28 watches apiece. Arnold & Son continues its tour of the Ultrathin Tourbillon collection. The A&S8320 calibre unveils its curves, apertures and details within a 41.5 mm case in either red gold (5N) or platinum (PT 950), each released in a run of 28 timepieces. Encased in this precious housing, Arnold & Son’s flying tourbillon stands out for its finesse and precision. Finesse, because at just 3.3 mm thick, it is one of the slimmest skeleton tourbillon calibres in existence. Precision, because this one-minute flying tourbillon is assembled with a variable-inertia balance for enhanced calibration stability.

Renowned for bold, boundary-pushing designs, the watchmakers from Lucerne proudly unveil the latest creation: The ReSec Beast Manufacture. This audacious statement of color, form, and fearless design dares to transcend the confines of traditional watchmaking, challenging conventions with every tick.

In the celestial tapestry of time, 2024 marks the golden jubilee of Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches, 50 years adorned with dedication, innovation, and horological brilliance. To commemorate this auspicious occasion, we unveil the mesmerizing CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Manufacture: it is the only mechanical Planetarium watch in the world that displays all 8 planets, showing real time the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune around the Sun. An exceptional Haute Horlogerie CVDK masterpiece, echoing our enduring commitment to the art of timekeeping.

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.
