Chronoswiss has unveiled the "Spacetimer Gravity," a watch whose dial design expresses the force of gravity pulling objects together. The guilloché engraving, which creates a sense of depth through the spreading wave pattern, is treated with Chronoswiss's signature CVD coating, resulting in vibrant colors that shift from forest green to ocean blue. Furthermore, the gray dial base is intricately engraved with a depiction of the lunar surface based on NASA data, representing space and the immense gravity that governs it.
Chronoswiss's new model, "Space Timer Gravity," expresses the concept of gravity.
Chronoswiss has unveiled the "Spacetimer Gravity," a watch that expresses the universe and the immense gravity that governs it. Its most distinctive feature is the traditional hand-engraved guilloché pattern that runs from the 2 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock position.
Automatic movement (Cal. C.308). 33 jewels. 28,800 vibrations/hour. Power reserve approximately 42 hours. Stainless steel case (44mm diameter, 15.2mm thickness). 10 ATM water resistance. Limited edition of 50 pieces worldwide. 5,390,000 yen (including tax). Scheduled for release in April 2026.
This design is reminiscent of a gravity well, which represents gravity using the image of a funnel. A gravity well is a schematic representation of the effect of gravity exerted by an object with mass, showing how the object is drawn towards the center of a funnel.
In this piece, the guilloché engraving is designed to create a wave pattern that radiates outwards from the 12 o'clock position, becoming denser at the 12 o'clock position and gradually becoming looser towards the outside. This creates a sense of depth towards the 12 o'clock position, visually representing gravity as objects are drawn towards it.
Furthermore, the guilloché engraving has a distinctive color. This piece features the same CVD coating used in "Strike Two Stella Blue," resulting in a finish that changes its appearance seamlessly from a deep forest green to a mystical ocean blue depending on the angle of light.
The gray-finished dial base features a micron-level reproduction of the lunar surface's craters and topography, based on precise lunar photographs from NASA, created using laser processing technology. The finish changes its appearance depending on the amount of light that hits it, and the contrast with the vividly finished guilloché engraving, achieved through CVD coating, is striking.
The index rings that indicate the time and date utilize "ITR2," a composite material that is lightweight yet highly durable. The transparent ITR2 gives the various indices a floating appearance on the dial, highlighting the three-dimensional feel of this timepiece.
This timepiece is equipped with the automatic Cal.C308 movement. It features a minute and second hand in the center, a time display subdial at 12 o'clock, a date display subdial at 6 o'clock, and a coaxial moon phase display. The Cal.C308 mechanism can be seen through the openwork at 12 o'clock, allowing the wearer to admire its rhythmic operation. This design was incorporated to symbolize "time, an absolute entity that is invisible to the eye but undeniably governs everything."
