Materials
Stainless Steel
Chronoswiss relies on stainless steel for its durability and sheen. With excellent resistance to corrosion and scratches, stainless steel provides a perfect balance between longevity and aesthetics. Chronoswiss primarily uses high-quality stainless steel in its watches, ensuring everyday practicality along with timeless elegance.
Artisian handcraft
Hand Guilloché
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.
Coating
Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)
Chronoswiss harnesses the versatility of CVD coatings to infuse watch cases and dials with vibrant hues like blue, purple, and color-shifting tones. This complex gas-phase process enables precise, uniform coatings even on complex surfaces, optimizing for durability, resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
Our Vision
Inspired by the iconic 90s Delphis the new models are a seamless fusion of heritage and modernity. We aimed to bring this classic into the Modern Mechanical age, crafting a timepiece that is unmistakably contemporary while retaining the remarkable complications that made the original famous: the jumping hour and retrograde minute. Adopting a 42mm case, the design emphasizes symmetry and transparency, showcasing the intricate beauty of our new manufacture movement C.6004. The new Delphis is a symbol of innovation and timeless craftsmanship, marking a forward-thinking evolution for Chronoswiss.
