A timepiece focused on the essential—yet anything but ordinary.
Chronoswiss proudly introduces the Small Second, the beginning of a new family in the Modern Mechanical collection. The vision? To create a bold mechanical timepiece, stripped of excess yet rich in craftsmanship and detail.
With its 40mm stainless steel case and slim 11.5mm profile, the Small Second is the sleekest Chronoswiss in the current collection. Designed with refinement and precision, the case features polished sides, sandblasted & sculpted lugs, as well as the most streamlined crown the watchmakers of Lucerne have ever created. Every detail serves a purpose, ensuring a fascinating mechanical experience.
Yet, focusing on the true essence does not mean compromise. The curved dial construction, intricate 3D layering, and handcrafted dials transform the Small Second into a study of watchmaking complexity.
At its heart beats the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000—ensuring precision, reliability, and the unmistakable rhythm of a true mechanical timepiece.
Two Designs. One Philosophy.
Small Second Desert
Inspired by the untamed beauty of the desert, this timepiece reflects the texture and depth of shifting sands. The dial’s rugged 3D effect is created through a laser-engraved surface, enhanced with 10 layers of nano-printing, producing an interplay of light and shadow that brings the terrain to life. Paired with a robust pilot leather strap, the Small Second Desert is a tribute to those who embrace the wild, the vast, and the untouched.
"While traveling through Namibia, I was struck by the sheer scale and purity of the dunes— raw, powerful, yet sculpted by time. The Small Second Desert captures this essence: Simplicity with depth, elegance forged by nature."
— Oliver Ebstein, CEO of Chronoswiss
Small Second Blue Orbit
The Blue Orbit is a testament to timeless craftsmanship and contemporary precision. The hand-guilloched dial, with its meticulously engraved patterns, is a celebration of Chronoswiss’ artisanal expertise. The azuraged small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock adds another layer of depth, while its shifting reflections mimic the endless movement of celestial bodies. The Small Second Blue Orbit is a watch for those who seek perfection in the details— a true harmony of heritage and modernity.
Redefining the Essential
The Small Second family is a new era for Chronoswiss—a fascinating, yet focused expression of mechanical watchmaking—a timepiece that embodies the soul of independent horology.
