Creating the dial of Chronoswiss’s Delphis Horizon, the brand says, is akin to painting the sky.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Delphis Horizon, limited to 50 pieces. It sets an 18ct white gold dial with a curved guilloché half-moon in a 42mm Grade 5 titanium case, and each watch comes in a collector’s box.
The half-moon carries seven layers of sky-blue Grand Feu enamel, which the brand says gives the dial depth and richness of colour. The hour is digital at 12 o’clock and the minute is central and retrograde. The small seconds at 6 o’clock float, in the brand’s words, like a celestial body in the blue sky.
Behind it is the manufacture Calibre C.6004, with 55 hours of power reserve. The titanium case and white gold dial, under layers of sky-blue enamel, create what Chronoswiss calls an interplay of light and shadow.
The brand ties the watch to its courage to treat the sky as the limit.
