Chronoswiss looks to the cosmos for its Space Timer: one dial shows Jupiter and its volcanic moon Io, the other a star’s explosive death.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Space Timer Deep Space and the Space Timer Supernova, each limited to 50 pieces. Both share a 44mm stainless steel case and the automatic calibre C.308.
Deep Space has a blue CVD-coated case and a blue hornback alligator leather strap. Half of its dial carries a printed Jupiter and Io, built up in seven layers, and the other half is hand-guillochéd in deep blue.
Supernova has a matte grey case and a black calf leather strap. Its dial is split between galvanic black and galvanic silver, with hand-guillochéd textures and red rings.
Both have a 3D dial, with translucent ITR-2 rings for the hours, minutes and date over a hovering bridge, and a titanium moonphase at 6 o’clock. The calibre gives a 42-hour power reserve.
Chronoswiss says the pair are explorations of the cosmos, capturing the beauty and mystery of the universe within their designs.
