The Open Gear Flying Tourbillon Underworld captivates with a 44mm stainless steel case that harbors secrets of the ancient craft. The black hand-guilloché dial, reminiscent of the infinite night sky, sets the stage for the purple movement that beats at its heart. Its flying tourbillon, majestically positioned at 6 o'clock, is the metaphorical underworld passage through which the flow of time is both observed and worshipped.

Adorning the wrist, the timepiece's alligator strap, which glows with a luminous purple hue in darkness, is akin to the ethereal glow of bioluminescent creatures of the deep sea, and is finished with a purple Alcantara on the backside for comfort that is as luxurious as it is mysterious.

With the Open Gear Tourbillon Underworld, we invite the wearer to glance beyond the veil," says Oliver Ebstein, CEO of Chronoswiss. "Some of our watchmakers might say, it's a portal to the Underworld of horology where the spirit of time is enshrined in every detail, from the partly skeletonized dial to the stunningly decorated manufacture movement."
