Chronoswiss Unveils the Next Chapter in Horological Space Exploration
Embark on a journey beyond the stars with Chronoswiss’ latest horological marvels: The Space Timer Deep Space and Space Timer Supernova.
At Chronoswiss, the allure of the cosmos has always been more than just a distant fascination – it’s a canvas for innovation and creativity. This year, the journey continues as we push the boundaries of watchmaking with two new models that capture the awe-inspiring vastness of space: the Space Timer Deep Space and the Space Timer Super Nova.
A Journey Through the Cosmos: Space Timer Deep Space
The Space Timer Deep Space is a masterclass in blending artistry with technical prowess. Encased in a 44mm stainless-steel case, bathed in a striking blue CVD coating, this timepiece invites the wearer to venture into the unknown. Its matching blue hornback alligator leather strap is not just an accessory, but a continuation of the deep, serene hues that define this cosmic masterpiece.
The dial of the Space Timer Deep Space is a marvel of contrasts and textures. On one side, a meticulously printed depiction of Jupiter and its fiery moon, IO – the most volcanically active world in our solar system – unfolds across seven layers of vivid detail. The other half of the dial, divided by an elegant guilloche-line, is a symphony of hand-guilloché patterns, also finished in a deep blue CVD coating, representing the boundless mystery of deep space. The 3-dimensional dial, with its hovering bridge beneath the translucent ITR-2 hour, minute and date rings, create a microcosm of the universe right on your wrist.
A Stellar Explosion: Space Timer Supernova
The Space Timer Supernova captures the cataclysmic beauty of a star’s explosive death, transforming it into a wearable work of art. Housed in a matte grey stainless-steel case and complemented by a black calf leather strap, this timepiece evokes the raw power and elegance of a supernova.
Its dial is a study in contrast and motion. The two-toned surface, split between galvanic black and galvanic silver, symbolizing the last evolutionary stage of a planet in the endless darkness of space. The hand-guillochéd textures bring depth and dimension to the dial, while the red ITR-2 hour, minute and date rings, along with the seemingly floating titanium moonphase at 6 o’clock, add a striking vibrancy to the scene. It’s a watch that tells a story of cosmic creation, where every glance at the dial is like peering into the depths of a galaxy.
The Engine Behind the Stars
Both the Space Timer Deep Space and the Space Timer Supernova are powered by the Chronoswiss C.308 caliber, a movement as precise and powerful as the celestial bodies it emulates. With a 42-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4Hz, this caliber ensures that time is not just kept but mastered, like the galaxies themselves.
A Limited Odyssey
In the vast expanse of the universe, uniqueness is rare. The Space Timer Deep Space and Supernova are no exceptions. Both models are limited editions of 50, offering a select few the chance to wear a piece of the cosmos on their wrist. These timepieces are not just watches; they are journeys—expeditions into the unknown, where artistry, innovation, and the infinite wonders of the universe converge.
Chronoswiss invites you to step beyond the boundaries of Earth, to explore the depths of space and the power of a supernova, all within the confines of a watch. These are not just timepieces—they are the embodiment of mankind’s eternal quest to reach for the stars.
