Pulse GMT Enamel Sky Gold
Automatic movement (Cal. C.6002). 29 jewels. 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve approximately 55 hours. 18K gold case (41mm diameter, 13mm thickness). 10 ATM water resistance. Limited edition of 50 pieces worldwide. 4,180,000 yen (tax included).
Chronoswiss has unveiled the Pulse GMT Enamel Sky Gold, a watch that embodies the brand's concept of "modern mechanical." This timepiece's origins lie in the unique "Tiger" model, released in 1999, which featured a horizontal regulator display on the dial. The Tiger's innovative dual-time display became one of Chronoswiss's iconic features.
This model features a dial configuration that combines GMT and regulator displays, with a central minute and second hand, a 12-hour counter at the 3 o'clock position displaying home time, and a 24-hour counter at the 9 o'clock position displaying a second time zone.
The dial's base employs a technique called "paillon enamel," which involves scattering metal foil and then applying translucent enamel. In this particular piece, guilloché engraving is applied to the base, and layers of blue enamel are applied to create a night sky. The guilloché engraving is visible through the blue, resulting in a finish with varying appearances. Gold leaf stars are then placed on top of this and coated with translucent enamel. This finish gives the stars the appearance of floating within the glass.
This model features an 18K gold case and, for the first time in the brand's history, an "integrated bracelet" that is built into the case.
Pulse GMT Silver Guilloche
As a new addition to the "Pulse" series, which symbolizes "modern mechanical" watches, the "Pulse GMT Silver Guilloché" has been announced. This model features a Grade 5 titanium case and bracelet, and a guilloché pattern on the dial. At Chronoswiss's atelier in Lucerne, skilled craftsmen have used a 100-year-old manual lathe to create a guilloché pattern that appears to radiate outwards from the base of the dial.
Automatic movement (Cal. C.6002). 29 jewels. 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve approximately 55 hours. Titanium case (41mm diameter, 13mm thickness). 10 ATM water resistance. Limited edition of 200 pieces worldwide. 4,180,000 yen (tax included).
This model also features a dial configuration that combines GMT and regulator displays, with a central minute and second hand, a 12-hour counter at the 3 o'clock position displaying home time, and a 24-hour counter at the 9 o'clock position displaying a second time zone.
The "Pulse" family, on which the design is based, is a collection of the most progressive models in Chronoswiss's lineup to date. This model inherits traditional design elements that are the brand's identity, such as the onion crown and coin-edge bezel, while adopting an architectural, powerful, and instantly recognizable contemporary design.
Furthermore, the case and bracelet are made of lightweight and corrosion-resistant Grade 5 titanium. This model also features an "integrated bracelet" that is built into the case.
Neo Digital Chronos
The "Neo Digitar Chronos," which Chronoswiss positions as one of the most original timepieces in the brand's history, is also a highlight at Watches & Wonders Geneva. This model is an evolution of the "Neo Digitar" released in 2025, and instead of a conventional dial or hands, the digital time display peeks out from an opening in the case, which is shaped like Chronos, the ancient Greek god of time.
Manual winding (Cal. C.85757). 19 jewels. 21,600 vibrations/hour. 18K rose gold case (48mm x 30mm, 9mm thick). 3 ATM water resistance. Limited edition of 33 pieces worldwide. Estimated price: 14,520,000 yen (including tax). Scheduled for release in July 2026.
The Neo Digitor was a modern reinterpretation of the "Digitor," a challenging concept of a "mechanical watch without hands," which was introduced by founder Gerd R. Lang in the early 2000s. The newly announced Neo Digitor Chronos inherits the "mechanical rebellious spirit" that the Neo Digitor embodied, while engraving the figure of Chronos, the god of time from whom the brand is named, along with the hourglass he holds, onto the case. The case is made of 18K red gold, and the engraving is done by craftsmen in the brand's own atelier in Lucerne. The Greek meander pattern that runs from the case to the strap is adopted as an ancient geometric decoration that symbolizes the eternal flow of time.
The movement is a hand-wound Cal.C.85757. Named after the zip code of the workshop established in 1983, this movement features a proprietary jumping hour module that enables instantaneous switching of the jumping hour while maintaining the smooth operation of the minute and second discs. The jumping hour is positioned at 12 o'clock, the minutes are in the center, and the seconds are at 6 o'clock.
Delphis Art Deco
The latest addition to the brand's flagship "Delphis" series, the "Delphis Art Deco," has been unveiled. This model is themed around the "Roaring Twenties" of the 1920s, expressing the Art Deco style that developed during that period with modern mechanisms and design.
Automatic movement (Cal. C.6004). 37 jewels. 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve of approximately 55 hours. Titanium case (42mm diameter, 14.5mm thickness). 10 ATM water resistance. Limited edition of 150 pieces worldwide. Estimated price: 3,630,000 yen (including tax). Scheduled for release in June 2026.
The dial features a nickel-coated gray base. The base is given a laser-cut 3D texture, which gives it a three-dimensional and rich appearance depending on how the light hits it. The gold-plated minute hand ring provides a warm contrast to the calm gray dial. The small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock is hand-guilloché engraved using a 100-year-old machine in a Lucerne workshop, and a vibrant "Art Deco Blue" lacquer is layered over it, adding a design accent.
A defining characteristic of the Delphis is its unique time display. This model features a digital jumping hour display in a small window at the 12 o'clock position. Minutes are indicated by a central retrograde minute hand, which moves along a fan-shaped scale and instantly returns to its starting point upon reaching the end. Seconds are displayed by a small seconds subdial at the 6 o'clock position. This operation is made possible by the in-house developed automatic winding movement Cal. C.6004. The power reserve is approximately 55 hours.
The case is made of Grade 5 titanium, which combines durability and lightness. The matte gray harmonizes with the dial, and its texture gives it an atmosphere reminiscent of modern architecture. The bezel features Chronoswiss' signature coin edge detailing.
