Chronoswiss echoes the spirit of its Tora in a new line, Strike Two, built on a horizontal regulator layout and named for its twin bridges.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Strike Two Golden Gear and the Strike Two H2O, each limited to 100 pieces, for Watches & Wonders 2024.
The Golden Gear pairs golden accents with a dark grey dial. The H2O has a three-dimensional light blue dial and an alligator-embossed calfskin strap. On both, the hour sits at 3 o’clock in an open gear between two vertical bridges, the minute hand is central, and a hand-guilloché small seconds sits at 9 o’clock.
The stainless steel case is 40mm across and 12.7mm high, with a redesigned crown. Inside both is the new manufacture Calibre C.6000, developed with La Joux-Perret, with a tungsten rotor and 55 hours of power reserve.
Chronoswiss calls the Strike Two a gateway to the future of timekeeping in Lucerne, one that embraces the past.
