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.

Moritz Grossmann GMT Guilloche Limited Edition Dual Time Zone Watch with Hand-Guilloché Dial

The Moritz Grossmann GMT Guilloche is a celebration of global exploration and fine German watchmaking. Inspired by the colors of nature and the rhythm of travel, this dual time zone watch is available in two striking dial variants: matte green, evoking serene meadows and hidden coves, and vibrant orange, reminiscent of the glow of a setting sun.

Dual Time Functionality

Designed for the modern traveler, the GMT Guilloche features a 24-hour time zone ring encircling the dial. A distinctive arrow-shaped hand tracks a second time zone, offering intuitive day-night orientation. Local time is displayed via central hour and minute hands, with a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. A dedicated crown at 10 o’clock allows seamless adjustment of the second time zone without affecting the main time.

Masterful Craftsmanship

Each dial is hand-engraved using the traditional guilloché technique, creating intricate geometric patterns that shimmer with light. The green dial is paired with blued steel hands, while the orange dial features polished steel hands—both handcrafted in Glashütte.

Engineered for Precision

Inside the watch beats the calibre 100.8, a manually wound movement crafted in-house and regulated in five positions. It features 253 components, 26 jewels, and signature Grossmann innovations including the 2/3 plate with raised gold chatons, cantilevered balance cock with micrometer screw, and a separately removable winding mechanism. The second time zone mechanism is seamlessly integrated on the dial side, ensuring precision and harmony.

Limited Edition

Encased in stainless steel and fitted with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap, each GMT Guilloche model is strictly limited to 8 pieces worldwide, making it a rare collector’s item.

Discover the Art of Glashütte

Moritz Grossmann continues to honor its founder’s legacy by blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. The GMT Guilloche is a wearable work of art—an invitation to wear the world on your wrist.

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.

Tinkler 1958: Precision at a Quarter Turn

A faithful tribute to the original model, the Tinkler 1958 repeater celebrates Angelus’s rich heritage of striking watches. Driven by a self-winding quarter-repeater movement, this double limited edition, available in gold or steel, continues the tradition of measuring instruments that built the manufacture’s reputation. From its establishment in 1891, the name Angelus has been synonymous with the chiming of a bell, a legacy reinforced by one of the Maison's first patents for a silent strike governor in 1896. Since then, repeater mechanisms have remained at the heart of Angelus collections, even being adapted into Braille-repeating watches for blinded soldiers during the First World War.

Inspired by this glorious history, Angelus is reissuing one of its rarest and most refined models: the Tinkler, based on the original 1958 edition. In 1958, Angelus filed a patent for a striking wristwatch, which was immediately followed by the original Tinkler—a pioneer of water-resistant, self-winding quarter-repeater watches. The new 38-mm case charms with a decidedly 1950s aesthetic that is clean, understated, and elegant. At 9 o’clock, the crown is balanced by a pusher that activates the quarter repeater, serving as a functional and historical hallmark of this legendary model.

The Tinkler 1958 edition is driven by the new Angelus A600 calibre, a mechanical self-winding movement that beats at 4Hz and offers a 70-hour power reserve. On request, the pusher at 9 o’clock triggers a sequence where each hour is marked by a clear strike on the first gong, followed by a double strike on two gongs to signal each quarter hour. The movement's finishing demonstrates the watchmaker's extreme attention to detail, featuring a snail-finished main plate, palladium-plated bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève, and a tungsten sunburst oscillating weight.

This new release is part of the La Fabrique line, where Angelus continues its legacy as a maker of specialty watches designed for specific activities or professional uses. The Tinkler 1958 is limited to 15 pieces in 18-carat yellow gold and 25 pieces in stainless steel, each paired with an alligator flank leather strap—ink blue for the gold version and saddle brown for the steel. Combining a modernist-style numeral 12 with exclamation-shaped hour markers at the quarter positions, the watch serves as a modern embodiment of a daring yet functional tradition.
