Evolution
Neo Digiteur
Sand
Marking 20 years since its debut, the Neo Digiteur returns as a bold mechanical icon - a handless display of jumping hours, digital minutes, and sweeping seconds. Limited to 99 pieces per edition.
The watch without hands
To mark the return of one of Chronoswiss boldest creations, the Atelier Lucerne reengineered a mechanical rarity - and gave it a striking new form. The Neo Digiteur revives the legendary 2005 original with a tailored rectangular case, digital regulator display, and architectural clarity. This sculptural stainless-steel timepiece displays time through three crisp apertures: Jumping hours, sweeping minutes, and mechanical seconds — all powered by a hand-wound caliber with a proprietary in-house module.

Movement
C.85757
At the heart of the Neo Digiteur beats the hand-wound Caliber C.85757, featuring a proprietary in-house module developed in Lucerne. The module controls the jumping hour, sweeping minutes and seconds with precision. Visible through a rectangular display window, the movement is finished with hand-guilloché on gold- and ruthenium-plated components - blending heritage with modern mechanical artistry.
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.
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.
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.

Dial
Contrast & Character
Inspired by mineral tones and vintage typography, the Sand edition introduces a warm 4N dial with a refined sandblasted texture. Navy-blue numerals bring a classical elegance to the modern aesthetic of the Neo Digiteur, creating a bridge between heritage and innovation. Light interacts with the surface in subtle, ever-changing ways - giving this version an almost tactile sophistication that feels both fresh and timeless.
Our Vision
The vision behind the Neo Digiteur was to revive the spirit of mechanical defiance - to take a daring idea from the past and reimagine it for today’s collector. The Neo Digiteur isn’t a nostalgic remake, but a statement of modern craftsmanship and design clarity. The Atelier Lucerne proves that mechanical innovation still has the power to surprise, provoke, and inspire. This watch is a tribute to bold thinking - then and now.
