Evolution
Neo Digiteur
Chronos
A mechanical myth, sculpted in solid gold. Time is no longer displayed, it is embodied. A creation where watchmaking becomes storytelling.
The Myth Awakens
The Neo Digiteur Chronos transforms one of Chronoswiss most radical concepts into a sculptural expression of time itself. Crafted from solid 5N gold and entirely hand-engraved in Lucerne, it replaces the traditional dial with a mythological narrative centered around Chronos, the god of time. A digital regulator without hands reveals hours, minutes and seconds through precisely framed apertures within the engraving. The result is a timepiece that merges mechanical innovation, artistic craftsmanship and symbolic storytelling into a single, uncompromising creation.

Artisian Handcraft
Hand Engraving
Each Neo Digiteur Chronos begins as a solid block of gold, brought to life through weeks of meticulous hand engraving. Using traditional tools, the engraver sculpts the figure of Chronos directly into the surface, carving every line, shadow and contour by hand. This process cannot be replicated or corrected, every movement is final, every detail intentional. The result is a living surface of depth and light, where no two pieces are ever the same, each marked by its own hand-engraved Limited Edition number.

Complication
Jumping Hours, Sweeping Minutes & Seconds
The Neo Digiteur showcases a rare digital complication: Jumping hours at 12, digital minutes in the center, and sweeping seconds at 6. Three crisp apertures cut into the curved dial reveal a precise, rhythmic display of time - entirely mechanical, yet boldly modern. It’s a regulator without hands, built for clarity, energy efficiency, and visual intrigue.
Materials
Gold 18ct
Chronoswiss chooses gold for its timeless elegance and enduring value. Known for its remarkable malleability and resistance to tarnish, gold has been cherished throughout history for its beauty and rarity. For the Neo Digiteur Chronos 65g of solid 18ct gold have been used, ensuring the perfect balance between durability and luxurious appeal. Whether used in the intricate details of a dial or the robust case of a watch, gold provides a timeless touch that elevates every Chronoswiss timepiece to a work of art.
Movement
C.85757
At the heart of the Neo Digiteur beats the hand-wound Caliber C.85757, its name inspired by the very first postal code of the original Chronoswiss workshop. It features a proprietary in-house module developed in Lucerne, controlling the jumping hour as well as the sweeping minutes and seconds with absolute precision. Visible through a rectangular display window, the movement is finished with hand-guilloché on gold- and ruthenium-plated components.

Legacy
20 years - A jump in time
The Neo Digiteur draws its spirit from the original 2005 Digiteur, a mechanical outlier created by Chronoswiss founder Gerd-Rüdiger Lang. Inspired by early pocket watches with jumping hours and digital displays, it challenged convention with its bold shape and unique complication. The new edition revives that vision with modern mechanics and sharp lines - staying true to its roots while forging a new path.

Our Vision
With the Neo Digiteur Chronos, Chronoswiss gives time a physical form. Instead of displaying time on a dial, it becomes part of a narrative: past, present and future expressed through a mythological scene. Chronos, the ancient Greek god of time, stands at the center, holding the hourglass as a symbol of its relentless flow. It is not just a way of reading time – it is a reflection on how we perceive it.
