Frozen Elegance: Chronoswiss Unveils the Limited-Edition Delphis Glacier

Chronoswiss is proud to unveil the Delphis Glacier, a sophisticated interpretation of eternal ice and glacial beauty. Crafted in lightweight titanium and paired with a sleek black rubber strap, this latest addition to the Delphis family merges understated elegance with the bold mechanical spirit of Chronoswiss. Frozen landscapes meet modern horology. The Delphis Glacier is housed in a 42mm Grade 5 titanium case, whose natural metallic finish reflects the quiet strength and purity of alpine glaciers. Combined with the black rubber strap, the watch achieves a refined and contemporary presence on the wrist, evoking the calm majesty of ice formations shaped over centuries by nature itself.

Mechanical Cool
At the heart of the Delphis Glacier lies an upper dial that creates the stage for the retrograde minute and jumping hour complication. The crescent is silver galvanic and features a curved hand-guillochéd surface inspired by the delicate textures of glacial ice and frozen landscapes. The subdial, a curved UFO, holds the small seconds and is finished with a blue CVD-coating with hand-guilloché craftsmanship executed inside the Atelier Lucerne. The monochromatic interplay of textures and tones creates a sophisticated composition that feels both timeless and unmistakably modern.

The Soul of Precision
The Delphis Glacier is powered by the manufacture movement C.6004, a testament to Chronoswiss dedication to precision and innovation. Beyond its visual elegance, the movement ensures outstanding functionality and reliability, transforming the Delphis Glacier into a mechanical sculpture inspired by the silent power of nature. Every detail reflects the serene beauty and resilience of Swiss glaciers. As an homage to the enduring beauty and the purity of ice, the Delphis Glacier is produced in a limited edition of only 50 pieces, making it a rare companion for collectors seeking refined modern mechanics. Discover the silence. Embrace the glacier.

Traditional Watchmaking Elevated: DANIEL ROTH Introduces the Extra Plat Platinum

In the refined sphere of independent watchmaking, DANIEL ROTH has introduced a sophisticated new expression of its Extra Plat collection, elevating the rarity of the line while retaining an understated and disciplined elegance. Rooted in the firm belief of its legendary founder that a thin dress watch represents the ultimate epitome of functional elegance, this model is meticulously designed from the ground up to balance modern sophistication with time-honored craft. Cloaked in 950 platinum—a noble metal long synonymous with rarity and traditional savoir-faire—the watch establishes a quiet yet unmistakable presence on the wrist that will immediately resonate with serious connoisseurs.

The defining silhouette of this timepiece remains the signature double-ellipse case, an iconic geometry originally created by master watchmaker Daniel Roth to beautifully frame complex horological mechanisms. To complement this distinctive shape, downward-sloping lugs have been elegantly integrated to ensure optimal wrist comfort while providing a handsome architectural contrast against the light-tan calfskin leather strap. The dial base is forged from solid white gold, displaying a mesmerizing pinstripe guilloché texture executed entirely by hand using a traditional rose engine. Each line is individually carved with masterful control over depth and spacing, beautifully bordered by a gold minute disc finished with a classic filet sauté edge and sharp black typography.

Beneath this stunning facade lies the core of the timepiece: the ultra-thin, hand-wound manufacture Calibre DR002, fully developed and assembled at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton under the expert guidance of master watchmakers Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini. Tasked with striking the perfect balance between chronometric precision and a generous power reserve within a slim 3.1 mm structure, the watchmakers increased the movement's frequency to 4 Hz. To sustain this high frequency without sacrificing energy efficiency or structural stability, the calibre incorporates a specially refined balance wheel featuring a variable-inertia geometry and adjustable counterweights.

An open sapphire caseback reveals the true artistic discipline of the manufacture, where technical engineering and aesthetic restraint seamlessly converge. The movement's bridges are decorated with demanding hand-finishing details, most notably the internal angles which are rendered in a rare, rounded bercé form. Requiring at least twice the execution time of a standard flat bevel, this traditional decoration involves polishing a precise curved radius along the edges to create a brilliant, uniform profile. Shaped and hand-polished in-house using a traditional cabron tool, these components reinforce the brand's unwavering commitment to its guiding philosophy: "La Montre Objet d'Art".

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.

PULSE GMT Frosted Guilloche Gold: A Masterclass in Modern Mechanical Craftsmanship

Chronoswiss has officially introduced the Pulse GMT Frosted Guilloche Gold, a striking new expression of modern travel time created in its Atelier Lucerne. Housed in a beautifully sculpted 41mm 18ct (5N) gold case, this timepiece seamlessly brings precious materials into the bold, architectural world of the Pulse design family. Redefining the brand’s classic codes with a sharper, sportier attitude, the watch features Chronoswiss’s iconic onion crown, a partially knurled coin-edge bezel, and an exclusive new integrated black rubber strap. This exclusive, modern masterpiece is strictly limited to just 50 pieces worldwide.

At the heart of this timepiece is an innovative, three-dimensional dial that showcases a revolutionary take on a traditional decorative art. For the first time, a hand-guilloché brass surface is refined using a highly precise sandblasting process that directs ultra-fine synthetic corundum particles onto the dial. The result is a shimmering, frosted finish that transforms the geometric guilloché pattern into a crystalline landscape of light and depth. This contemporary backdrop is beautifully contrasted by polished, blue PVD-coated appliques, blued steel screws, and polished, blued steel hands in the brand's signature "Pyramid" shape.

Powering the watch is the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6002, an automatic movement developed in partnership with La Joux-Perret that offers a 55-hour power reserve. Designed specifically for global travelers, the movement features a dedicated dual-time-zone module; home time is tracked on a 12-hour disc at 3 o'clock, a second time zone is displayed via a 24-hour GMT disc at 9 o'clock, and central hands sweep the dial to indicate minutes and seconds. The exquisite inner workings of the caliber are visible through a sapphire crystal case back, revealing a skeletonized tungsten rotor, polished escape wheels, and a ruthenium-plated bridge finished with a classic Geneva cut.

The solid 26-piece gold case, weighing 48 grams, balances satin-finished and sandblasted textures with a partly polished bezel, offering 5 bar (50 meters) of water resistance. Secured to the wrist by a black integrated rubber strap and a matching black DLC-coated stainless steel and 5N gold buckle, the watch represents the ultimate expression of the brand’s "Modern Mechanical" philosophy. By contrasting traditional luxury with high-functioning, contemporary materials, the Pulse GMT Frosted Guilloche Gold is engineered as a sophisticated mechanical companion for an ever-moving world.

C BY ROMAIN GAUTHIER TITANIUM EDITION BRACELET LUMEN DIAL: LIGHT AS A CORE DESIGN MATERIAL

Independent manufacture Romain Gauthier illuminates its modern horological vision with the unveiling of the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet Lumen dial (Ref. MON00585). For the very first time, the brand integrates a full Super-Luminova dial into its celebrated Freedom collection, using light itself as a core design material. Deliberately paired with the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet—available for the first time in a limited edition of just 28 pieces—this creation redefines nocturnal legibility with ergonomic, everyday titanium luxury.

By day, the timepiece displays a refined, crisp white aesthetic anchored by sharp Grade 5 titanium numerals, indices, and hands. When darkness falls, the entire watch face transforms into a brilliant blue glow, creating a striking contrast that ensures effortless readability in any lighting condition. The integrated Grade 5 titanium bracelet—meticulously finished with alternating satin-brushed and hand-polished facets—flows seamlessly from the 41mm x 9.55mm case (47.8mm lug-to-lug), providing lightweight comfort and an uninterrupted, architectural silhouette.

Beneath the luminous dial lies an uncompromising expression of high-end Swiss watchmaking. Visible through the sapphire display back, the in-house hand-wound calibre crafted in natural Grade 5 titanium showcases Romain Gauthier’s heritage from the Vallée de Joux through modern "stepped" finger bridges. Each bridge is meticulously decorated with an exclusive hand-engraved dimpled texture, standing out against a hand-frosted movement mainplate while delivering a robust 60-hour power reserve.

Technical precision remains central to the manufacture's DNA, highlighted by the inclusion of a clever stop-seconds mechanism driven by a snail cam—a signature innovation inspired by the acclaimed Logical One. Pulling the off-center crown halts the balance wheel, while pushing it back in triggers the snail cam to deliver a subtle physical impulse, ensuring the movement restarts instantly. Strictly limited to 28 pieces worldwide, the C by Romain Gauthier Titanium Edition Bracelet Lumen dial represents an extraordinary convergence of glowing nighttime drama and superlative independent watchmaking.
