PULSE One: The Modern Mechanical Heartbeat

MARCH 18 2025 | Watches and Wonders 2025

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.

Full Titanium Jacket
The PULSE One is a first in many ways. The 41mm Grade 5 titanium case is brand new, meticulously designed from the ground up. Sleeker. Sportier. Bolder. Every line, every curve has been reimagined—pushing Chronoswiss into uncharted territory. But we didn’t stop there.

For the first time in Chronoswiss history, an integrated titanium bracelet seamlessly fuses with the case, achieving a perfect balance of form and function. A lifeline. A surge of energy. The most fluent bracelet ever produced by the Atelier Lucerne - featuring a fully hidden butterfly clasp, polished edges, and visible screws that reflect the raw beauty of precision engineering.

A Legacy Reforged
Some things change. Some things stand eternal.

The onion crown - a beacon of Chronoswiss identity - remains steadfast. A symbol of 40 years of mechanical excellence, standing tall in the storm of contemporary watchmaking. But make no mistake: This is not evolution - This is a revolution. A new vision of the Chronoswiss DNA, built for the future, rooted in heritage.

Manufacture in Every Beat
At its heart, the ruthenium-plated Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6001 drives the PULSE One with pure mechanical force. Featuring the iconic 3D regulator setup and a spectacular retrograde second at 6 o’clock, this timepiece is a celebration of movement, rhythm, and time in motion.

Limited to just 100 pieces, the PULSE One is available in two striking variations, each a testament to Chronoswiss' relentless pursuit of modernity:

PULSE One Sand: Featuring a 4N sand-blasted & -colored dial, radiating warmth and vitality.
PULSE One Blue: Featuring a deep blue dial, evoking power, depth, and dynamism.

Each model embodies contrast and duality - where heritage collides with the future, and tradition is reborn in modernity.

A New Era
The PULSE One is titanium proof of Chronoswiss' relentless drive to rethink, redefine, and revolutionize watchmaking. Strength and lightness. Power and elegance. A material that resonates with the energy of what’s next.

Chronoswiss has never followed the expected path. The Atelier Lucerne is never static—it is bold, it is different, it is spectacular.

This is the PULSE One. This is Modern Mechanical.

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".

Constant Force Tourbillon 11, yellow gold edition - A celebration of watchmaking ingenuity

The 41.5 mm diameter Constant Force Tourbillon 11 watch in 18-carat yellow gold, released by Arnold & Son as a limited edition of 11, is driven by a hand-wound mechanical movement. Equipped with two barrels to give a 100-hour power reserve, this timepiece was entirely developed and built at the manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. It is fitted with a constant force mechanism visible on the enamel dial and is regulated by a tourbillon that can be seen on the back. The architecture of this calibre is inspired by that of the timekeeping instrument driven by the first tourbillon created by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1808, based on a chronometer movement designed by John Arnold. This first tourbillon regulator, now in the British Museum, was given to John Roger Arnold by the Paris-based watchmaker in honour of his scientific collaboration and friendship with his father. The Constant Force Tourbillon 11 timepiece, designed to mark the end of the 260th anniversary celebrations of John Arnold’s legacy, pays tribute to the watchmaker’s ingenuity and his close association with Abraham-Louis Breguet.

The greatest watchmakers of the Age of Enlightenment often knew each other. Some of them exchanged views and appreciated each other despite language barriers and political obstacles. And this was the case with John Arnold and Abraham-Louis Breguet. These two watchmakers, undoubtedly the most productive of the second half of the 18th century, forged a friendship that nothing could shake, not even the throes of war between the two countries or the French Revolution. Aware of their respective talents, during Abraham-Louis Breguet’s frequent trips to London between 1789 and 1791, they shared their views and knowledge of the principles of timekeeping, furthering the science of timekeeping, which in their eyes definitely knew no frontiers.

Reinventing the Rhythm of Time: Dominique Renaud Presents the Pulse60

Haute Horlogerie Dominique Renaud (HHDR) marks its official debut with the launch of the Pulse60, unveiled in preview at the Time To Watches fair in Geneva (April 14–19, 2026). This first creation of the new Dominique Renaud brand introduces a radical approach to low‑frequency mechanical watchmaking and expresses the purest form of Renaud’s watchmaking philosophy.

A Vision Rooted in First Principles
Dominique Renaud, co‑founder of the legendary Renaud & Papi manufacture and creator of numerous landmark complications, returns with a renewed focus on foundational movement principles. Guided by the maxim “form ever follows function,” his work embraces clarity, purity and a minimalist, self‑evident aesthetic.
The establishment of HHDR in Tolochenaz brings together a team of watchmakers, designers and engineers in a collaborative, idea‑driven environment. HHDR is conceived as a living laboratory — a place where experimentation, shared expertise and long‑term exploration shape new forms of contemporary horology.

Pulse60 — A New Mechanical Language
At the heart of the Pulse60 is the newly developed BUA2024 movement, which embraces an ultra‑low 1 Hz frequency — just one oscillation per second, echoing the natural rhythm of the human heart. This approach reduces escapement shocks and disturbances, transforming time measurement into a slower, more embodied rhythm.

To master this low frequency, the movement features a monumental 20 mm high‑inertia balance wheel, inspired by marine chronometers. Its large moment of inertia stabilizes the rate by absorbing minute variations in energy and motion.

Dominique Renaud has also completely reimagined the regulating organ, allowing amplitude greater than 360° without knocking, with a theoretical range reaching approximately 700°. This unprecedented freedom greatly improves static rate stability by allowing the balance to follow its own natural dynamics over a longer portion of its oscillation.

A Design That Expresses Its Mechanics
The Pulse60’s innovative mechanics are reflected in its seamless, fluid architecture:

- A domed crystal with no bezel
- Lug‑less construction and integrated strap
- Three‑part case structure
- Diamond‑cut or guilloché dial details
- A patented offset regulation system placed outside the balance wheel, offering a completely unobstructed view of the slow‑beating 1 Hz oscillator

The display includes an hour‑minute dial at 12 o’clock, a natural dead half‑second at 9 o’clock, and a torque indicator at 3 o’clock. The caseback reveals a minimalist composition of circular and linear forms, framing the openworked escapement line and double‑roller assembly.

Greubel Forsey Unveils Final Editions of the Balancier Convexe S² in White and Black Ceramic

Greubel Forsey introduces the final and most exclusive editions of the Balancier Convexe S²: one in black ceramic with 5N red gold, and one in white ceramic, each strictly limited to 11 pieces.
These editions conclude a calibre developed through five years of mechanical and architectural exploration, with production set to cease permanently in 2026.

The Convexe case (41.5 mm) and movement were conceived as a single architectural whole, integrating Greubel Forsey’s signature 30° inclined balance wheel system as the visual and chronometric centre. The openworked movement features 301 components, including a 68‑part escapement platform, and is powered by two rapid-rotation coaxial barrels delivering a 72‑hour chronometric reserve.

Finishing remains uncompromising: frosted titanium bridges, polished bevels, hand‑finished countersinks, and meticulous transitions — even on invisible components.

Two Final Interpretations
Black Ceramic & 5N Red Gold
A dramatic contrast of dark architecture framed by ceramic, with red gold adding warmth and sculptural depth.The interplay of matte and polished surfaces enhances the piece’s three‑dimensional form

White Ceramic
A purist, graphic expression that highlights the structural geometry of the movement through light and shadow.The monochromatic case offers clarity, openness and a distinctly technical aesthetic.

Both editions preserve the characteristic S² display: suspended hours/minutes bridge, small seconds, and sector power‑reserve indication beneath a curved sapphire crystal.

This launch marks the concluding chapter of the Balancier Convexe S²’s five‑year evolution — not an iteration, but a final statement. As of 2026, Greubel Forsey will begin a gradual shift toward an almost entirely new collection, retiring earlier calibres with intention and ceremony rather than quiet discontinuation.
