Allow us to break the ice: Introducing the all new open Gear Freeze.
Experience the icy edge of precision with the new Open Gear Freeze. This latest member of the Chronoswiss Open Gear series brings the chill of ice to your wrist with its blue, straight-line guilloché dial. To be precise, It’s not just a dial, but part of the movement itself, mirroring the cold, precise beauty of lines etched in frost.
Forged in the fires of innovation, our Lucerne watchmakers have combined age-old guilloché techniques with cutting-edge design. They call this harmonious blend “Modern Mechanical.” The result? A watch that embodies the resilience of the adventurous spirit and is limited to just 50 pieces worldwide.
Each dial is handcrafted in our Atelier Lucerne. With unwavering precision and a respect for tradition, our craftsmen breathe life into Chronoswiss timepieces, using a century-old machine to carve every line of the pattern with the accuracy of a master.
The Open Gear Freeze boasts Chronoswiss’s iconic 3D regulator design, featuring a central minute, decentralized hour at 12 o’clock, and small seconds 6 o’clock. It’s a showcase of bold & daring watchmaking, revealing the intricate mechanics that keep time at your command.
The Open Gear Freeze is more than a watch. It’s an icy wind on a still day. It’s the strength and beauty of a winter landscape, captured in a timepiece built for those who dare to venture into the frost. Simple, yet striking. Bold, yet controlled. The Open Gear Freeze. Feel the chill of precision!
