CHRONOSWISS Open Gear ReSec HURRICANE Black Edition 2023

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

The world of watchmaking may appear as a calm place, where only once every few decades fresh wind clears up outdated habits.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.

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

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.

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.

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.

PANERAI – Luminor 8 Days Power Reserve 2023

 

 OFFICINE PANERAI Luminor 8 Days Power Reserve 44mm 2023

LUMINOR 8 DAYS

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

A LONG POWER RESERVE OF EIGHT DAYS, WITH AN INDICATOR OF POWER REMAINING ON THE DIAL OR THE BACK, ENHANCES THREE NEW CREATIONS OF THE PANERAI MANUFACTURE IN NEUCHÂTEL, AVAILABLE IN TITANIUM OR STEEL, AND ALSO IN THE “HISTORIC” LEFTHANDED VERSION.

Panerai is the product of distinct traditions rooted in two different countries: the sophistication of Swiss watchmaking artistry and an illustrious history of design inheritance from Italy. They are the foundation of a respected brand that mixes advanced horological and aesthetic achievement.

HIGH SOPHISTICATION

The Luminor 8 Days Power Reserve Titanio has the same functions and the same design as the steel version but the case and the device for protecting the winding crown are made of titanium, with brushed finish and polished edges.

On this model too the choice of colours is highly sophisticated, involving various shades of brown: darker for the dial, lighter for the untreated natural leather strap, and beige for the Super-LumiNova® markers and the sewing of the strap.

 PANERAI TITANIUM

Light, strong and hypoallergenic, the remarkable physical, mechanical and corrosion-resistant qualities of titanium have made this metal one of the most valued in fine watchmaking, as well as a material of choice for the military, aeronautical and aerospace industries.

TECHNICAL CONTENT AND PURE DESIGN

The Luminor 8 Days Power Reserve Acciaio classic black sandwich dial with the small seconds counter at 9 o’clock and, for the first time in this model, the power reserve indicator at 5 o’clock, with the arrow hand inspired by some Panerai watches of the late 1990s

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Every detail perfectly carries out the function for which it was designed and the rich combination of technical content and purity of design meets the highest standards of sports watchmaking.

Attention to detail is also evident in the choice of colours, such as the use of beige Super-LumiNova® on the dial, which coordinates perfectly with the brown leather strap and its beige sewing. 

LEFT HANDED

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The most distinctive characteristic is the positioning of the winding crown and its related protecting device at 9 o’clock, which makes this model perfect for left-handers or those who prefer to wear the watch on the right wrist. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO Left-handed watches are part of the history of Panerai, which since the 1940s has created such models for the frogmen of the Italian Navy, so that they could wear the other instruments needed for their missions, the compass and depth gauge, on the left wrist.

"AISI 316L 1.4435 stainless steel is Officine Panerais material par excellence since it is highly resistant to corrosion and is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for contact with the skin.

The Panerai watches created for the Italian Navy were made of austenitic stainless steel, a reliable material that was also resistant to the extreme environmental conditions in which the commandos operated."
