Chronoswiss Unveils the Next Chapter in Horological Space Exploration

SEPTEMBER 13 2024    |    Novelties

Embark on a journey beyond the stars with Chronoswiss’ latest horological marvels: The Space Timer Deep Space and Space Timer Supernova. At Chronoswiss, the allure of the cosmos has always been more than just a distant fascination - it’s a canvas for innovation and creativity. This year, the journey continues as we push the boundaries of watchmaking with two new models that capture the awe-inspiring vastness of space: the Space Timer Deep Space and the Space Timer Super Nova.

 

A Journey Through the Cosmos: Space Timer Deep Space
The Space Timer Deep Space is a masterclass in blending artistry with technical prowess. Encased in a 44mm stainless-steel case, bathed in a striking blue CVD coating, this timepiece invites the wearer to venture into the unknown. Its matching blue hornback alligator leather strap is not just an accessory, but a continuation of the deep, serene hues that define this cosmic masterpiece.

The dial of the Space Timer Deep Space is a marvel of contrasts and textures. On one side, a meticulously printed depiction of Jupiter and its fiery moon, IO - the most volcanically active world in our solar system - unfolds across seven layers of vivid detail. The other half of the dial, divided by an elegant guilloche-line, is a symphony of hand-guilloché patterns, also finished in a deep blue CVD coating, representing the boundless mystery of deep space. The 3-dimensional dial, with its hovering bridge beneath the translucent ITR-2 hour, minute and date rings, create a microcosm of the universe right on your wrist.

A Stellar Explosion: Space Timer Supernova
The Space Timer Supernova captures the cataclysmic beauty of a star’s explosive death, transforming it into a wearable work of art. Housed in a matte grey stainless-steel case and complemented by a black calf leather strap, this timepiece evokes the raw power and elegance of a supernova.

Its dial is a study in contrast and motion. The two-toned surface, split between galvanic black and galvanic silver, symbolizing the last evolutionary stage of a planet in the endless darkness of space. The hand-guillochéd textures bring depth and dimension to the dial, while the red ITR-2 hour, minute and date rings, along with the seemingly floating titanium moonphase at 6 o’clock, add a striking vibrancy to the scene. It’s a watch that tells a story of cosmic creation, where every glance at the dial is like peering into the depths of a galaxy.

The Engine Behind the Stars
Both the Space Timer Deep Space and the Space Timer Supernova are powered by the Chronoswiss C.308 caliber, a movement as precise and powerful as the celestial bodies it emulates. With a 42-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4Hz, this caliber ensures that time is not just kept but mastered, like the galaxies themselves.

A Limited Odyssey
In the vast expanse of the universe, uniqueness is rare. The Space Timer Deep Space and Supernova are no exceptions. Both models are limited editions of 50, offering a select few the chance to wear a piece of the cosmos on their wrist. These timepieces are not just watches; they are journeys—expeditions into the unknown, where artistry, innovation, and the infinite wonders of the universe converge.

Chronoswiss invites you to step beyond the boundaries of Earth, to explore the depths of space and the power of a supernova, all within the confines of a watch. These are not just timepieces—they are the embodiment of mankind’s eternal quest to reach for the stars.

Longitude Titanium 5°W: Precision and Elegance Inspired by the Seas

Arnold & Son proudly presents the Longitude Titanium 5°W Edition, a timepiece inspired by the marine chronometers crafted by John Arnold in the late 18th century. These instruments revolutionized navigation and played a pivotal role in the British Navy’s mastery of the seas.

This limited edition of 38 pieces combines grade 5 titanium with an 18K red gold bezel ring, echoing the elegance of historical chronometers. The Lizard Point Grey dial, with its vertical satin finish, evokes the stormy hues of the North Atlantic near Lizard Point—the southernmost tip of mainland Great Britain at 5° west longitude.

Inside beats the A&S6302 calibre, an in-house automatic movement certified by the COSC as a chronometer. It offers a 60-hour power reserve, a power-reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, and a small seconds subdial opposite. Through the sapphire case back, the palladium-plated bridges and skeletonized 22K red gold oscillating weight—engraved with a ship and sextant motif—reveal the artistry of Arnold & Son.

Water-resistant to 100 meters, the Longitude Titanium 5°W features an interchangeable strap system, allowing effortless transition between an anthracite grey alligator leather strap and a titanium bracelet.

Opus Dakar Sundown: A Two-Tone Symphony of Desert Sunset and Fine Skeletonized Horology

Chronoswiss has officially introduced the Opus Dakar Sundown, a striking new interpretation of the celebrated Opus Dakar that captures the fleeting magic of sunset over the desert. Housed in a distinctive 41mm two-tone case crafted from stainless steel and 18ct red gold, the timepiece masterfully blends the rugged spirit of adventure with refined luxury. The warm glow of precious metal flows seamlessly into the robust steel construction, mirroring the final golden rays dancing across endless dunes. This ultimate celebration of contrasts is beautifully completed by a sand-colored nubuck leather strap that evokes the warm tones of sunlit, weathered terrain.

At the heart of the watch beats the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.741S, a fully skeletonized automatic chronograph movement that transforms every measurement of time into a visual spectacle. Designed for legibility and visual complexity, the central chronograph seconds hand sweeps the openworked dial in harmony with a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock and a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock. A running small seconds display at 9 o'clock provides a constant indication of the movement's heartbeat, while a highly unique, analogue pointer date display at 3 o'clock enhances its everyday practicality.

The skeletonized, CVD-coated brown dial draws inspiration from the rich palette of the desert, where warm tones create a composition that is both timeless and adventurous. By exposing the intricate mechanics beneath the surface, every skeletonized bridge, wheel, and component directly contributes to a captivating, mechanical canvas. The hands are crafted in the elegant Breguet Losange shape and rhodium-plated to ensure striking contrast against the dark, galvanic black perlage of the base plate.

Crafted in solid 23 pieces, the 41mm case features an 18ct red gold bezel with partial knurling, a screw-down case back with a red gold coin-edge ring, and Chronoswiss’s iconic onion crown. The total weight of gold used in this exceptional construction is 21.4 grams. Offering a water resistance of 3 bar (30 meters), the watch is equipped with screw-in lugs utilizing the patented Autobloc system. For over three decades, the Opus collection has embodied the bold spirit of Chronoswiss; the Opus Dakar Sundown brilliantly reimagines this legacy, shaped by craftsmanship and illuminated by one of nature's most spectacular moments.

Moritz Grossmann Presents the New BENU Power Reserve: Tradition Refined

Moritz Grossmann, the independent Saxon manufacture celebrated for its uncompromising craftsmanship and technical ingenuity, introduces the latest evolution of its iconic BENU Power Reserve. This new interpretation embodies the brand’s guiding principle: progress in harmony with tradition.

A Dial That Captures Light and Time
The dial is the face of a watch — a canvas where heritage meets artistry. For the first time, the BENU Power Reserve combines its signature linear power reserve indicator with Azurage decoration. This intricate guilloché pattern of ultra-fine concentric grooves animates the outer chapter ring, creating a captivating interplay of light. The softly textured matte center in shimmering argenté silver contrasts with applied blue numerals and indices, while the brand logo and minute track appear in understated grey.

Completing this refined composition are newly designed hands, handcrafted from steel in the Glashütte atelier. Each hand is meticulously beveled, polished, and then heat-blued using traditional thermal treatment. Their elegant curvature and needle-fine tips exemplify the precision and artistry that define Moritz Grossmann.

The Poetry of Mechanics: Power Reserve Indicator
Mechanical timepieces invite interaction, and the power reserve display is a charming expression of this dialogue. Positioned beneath 12 o’clock, the linear indicator reveals a two-tone bar driven by a differential gear train. When fully wound, the bar appears white; as energy diminishes, a blue segment gradually advances — a subtle yet constant reminder of the living mechanism on the wrist.

Inside the Case: Calibre 100.2
At the heart of the BENU Power Reserve beats the Calibre 100.2, an evolution of the manufacture’s foundational movement. This hand-wound calibre incorporates a differential mechanism for the power reserve display and features the brand’s signature innovations: manual winding with a pusher, a cantilevered balance cock with micrometer screw adjustment, and a separately removable winding module. Through the sapphire crystal back, the movement reveals its artistry — broad Glashütte ribbing, hand-engraved cocks, and raised gold chatons secured by blued screws.

Classic Elegance in Every Detail
The BENU Power Reserve is offered in rose gold and white gold, each with a 41 mm case that reflects the brand’s commitment to timeless proportions. The case surfaces are finely brushed to a soft matte sheen, complemented by a cross-grooved crown and slender lugs. A grey hand-stitched leather strap with blue stitching echoes the dial’s accents, completing a harmonious design that speaks to connoisseurs of understated luxury.

A Legacy Reimagined
Founded in 1854 by visionary watchmaker Moritz Grossmann, the Glashütte tradition was revived in 2008 by master watchmaker Christine Hutter. Today, the manufactory continues to honor its heritage through innovation, artisanal excellence, and a dedication to the finest German craftsmanship.

Back in sleek anthracite: Armin Strom unveils the One Week Manufacture Edition

Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, 26 June 2024: Following the inaugural redesigned One Week First Edition that made its debut in 2023, Armin Strom unveils a new version of the successor to its first-ever manufacture movement with the One Week Manufacture Edition. The highly architectural openworked movement, housed in a sleek and sporty steel case with an integrated bracelet, is now presented in a range of grey and anthracite hues. Limited to 100 pieces, the One Week Manufacture Edition foregoes colour to bring out the beauty of its uniquely constructed manual calibre.

15 years ago, independent watchmaking brand Armin Strom took a major leap that would forever change its trajectory. Realising that the path to true independence lies in mastering every step of the process, it established its very own manufacture in Biel. A year later, the first timepiece produced by its vertically integrated manufacture was unveiled: the One Week. Entirely developed and manufactured in-house and designed with symmetrical harmony in mind, it stood out thanks to its unique movement architecture featuring two barrels that together provide a seven-day power reserve. This milestone marked the beginning of many new calibres and innovations by the Armin Strom manufacture, showcasing their dedication to the science of movement and garnering the admiration and respect of even the most discerning and seasoned collectors.

The new One Week Manufacture Edition completely reimagines this milestone calibre in line with the brand’s recent bolder, more three-dimensional approach to calibre design, all in a sleek and serene execution that further highlights its ingenuity and uniqueness. The mainplate, bridges and parts, visible on the dial thanks to the openworked movement design, are anthracite PVD coated for a striking look.

As Armin Strom founder Serge Michel notes: “Collectors who missed the opportunity to get a first edition of the redesigned One Week will now have another chance. The Manufacture Edition of the new One Week will be limited to 100 pieces.”

Sporty yet classy, this model exudes calmness and serenity with its anthracite tones and the symmetrical harmony of its in-house movement.
