The Delphis Sub Zero is an extraordinary timepiece encased in a 42mm CVD-coated blue stainless-steel case, perfectly complemented by a matching blue rubber strap. This icy blue ensemble creates a striking visual that is both bold and sophisticated, like an explorer of the frozen wilderness, capturing the essence of eternal ice.

Glacial beauty meets technical excellence

At the heart of the newest member of the Delphis family lies an upper dial that sets the stage for the retrograde minute and jumping hour complications. The crescent is silver galvanic and features a curved hand-guillochéd surface that mimics the pristine, untouched beauty of glaciers.

The Delphis Sub Zero is a breathtaking masterpiece that embodies the cold of the eternal ice. With its CVD-coated blue stainless steel case and matching blue rubber strap, this timepiece showcases the blend of elegance and precision. The hand-guillochéd, curved upper dial and subdial are meticulously crafted to reflect the eternal allure of the ice. The Sub Zero features a bold interplay of design and innovation, including retrograde minute and jumping hour complications.

The subdial, a curved UFO, holds the small seconds and is CVD-coated in blue with a hand-guillochéd finish – crafted in the Atelier Lucerne. This intricate design highlights the stunning interplay between ice and sky, creating a timepiece that is as wild as the glaciers themselves.

Guilloché is a traditional technique, which engraves detailed, interwoven lines on surfaces, creating unique light patterns. Chronoswiss excels in this art, producing dials with precise, radiating designs using two main guilloché machines: the straight-line and rose engine. Despite the absence of manuals for over two centuries,

Master-Guillocheurs have maintained their expertise through a deep understanding of these machines. Creating one of those complex dials takes several hours. Today, Chronoswiss's guilloché dials stand as both a tribute to and a celebration of this enduring craft, showcasing its timeless appeal with a modern twist.

The Delphis Sub Zero is powered by the new manufacture movement C.6004, reflecting Chronoswiss’s commitment to innovation and precision. This movement ensures that the Delphis Sub Zero not only captivates with its design but also excels in functionality and reliability. Each element of its design is carefully crafted to reflect the majesty of ice – a timepiece that invites its wearer to explore the depths of the frozen world, where time stands still and nature reigns supreme.

As an homage to the timeless beauty and strength of glaciers, the Delphis Sub Zero is produced in a limited edition of only 50 pieces, making it a rare and coveted addition to any collection.

Discover the legend. Embrace the ice.

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."

CHRONOSWISS – Open Gear ReSec HURRICANE Edition


CHRONOSWISS Open Gear ReSec HURRICANE Black Edition 2023

 A Storm is arising. Chronoswiss launches the new Open Gear ReSec Hurricane.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The world of watchmaking may appear as a calm place, where only once every few decades fresh wind clears up outdated habits. Not in Lucerne however, where Chronoswiss is manufacturing unique timepiece inside its Atelier. For the family run watch brand, a little breeze has never been the mindset of choice: It is about more, about moving fast & breaking things if necessary.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

Consequently, nothing less than a wildly escalating Hurricane has been captured in a pitch black 44mm DLC case. The stunning high frequency guilloché sets the scene on the all-black 3-dimensional dial of the newest Open Gear ReSec

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The shape of a moving Hurricane was created by hand with the aid of a century-old rose-engine turning machine in the Chronoswiss atelier & appears to storm through all levels of the dial, that is in fact part of the movement. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

It seems as if the relentless Hurricane has revealed the raw mechanics that other watch brands carefully hide. A closer look uncovers even more complex finishes and complications. While the hour ring hovers far above the ground, the bridge spanning the 120-degree 30-second retrograde second stands strong in the eye of the Hurricane like a beacon in rough sea.

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   

The newest Chronoswiss ReSec has an unparalleled depth and a provocative dark and dangerous feel due to its black coating. Finally, when the night lays its shade over the Hurricane the massive Super-LumiNova pillars that are used for the five-minute markers enlighten the dark.

Limited to only 50 pieces worldwide, the ReSec Hurricane will be hard to find but once you do it will leave its marks forever.

Breathe in deeply and lift off to a higher sphere. As the purple dust settles, watch lovers feel the creative spirit, the winds of freedom and the touch of love.

The stunning Purple Haze is a truly unique masterpiece and therefore you will find only 50 of them worldwide.

FLY HIGH
CHRONOSWISS LAUNCHES THE PURPLE HAZE INTO CLOUD 9

Chronoswiss stands for courage, independency, innovation and ultimately the freedom to create outstanding timepieces for those who are looking for the exceptional.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The all new Chronoswiss 41-millimetre Flying Regulator Open Gear Purple Haze screams out this brand ethos. Its deep purple color is both omnipresent and uncompromising. The fully in-house created Chronoswiss regulator features a hand guillochéd dial with 60 individually drawn lines glowing deep purple. Those flowing, handmade shapes are inspired by the clash of Rockstar Jimi Hendrix and Chronos, the Greek god of time.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Maik Panziera
, Head Designer of Chronoswiss, creates each of these inimitable lines by hand in the Lucerne Atelier using a 100-year-old machine. The guilloché pattern on the Purple Haze reflects Jimi Hendrix melody of life: Apparently simple, but in fact extremely complex. The gap between one line and the next for example is a mere 0.275mm. By the way: Story has it that Maik listens to heavy metal when creating the dials for the Purple Haze

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Equipped with a rubber strap with textile finish the Purple Haze withstands a sleepless night in Woodstock as well as jam sessions in your back yard. But don’t be mistaken: Even if you choose to spend most of the weekend on cloud nine, the Purple Haze will be right on time on Monday morning, thanks to its 42-hour power reserve.

At the end of the day, just one question remains: Will there be any left when you decide to write your own Purple Haze Story? With just 50 watches available, the Purple Haze is already a collectors’ item.
