The dark red dial of the ReSec Beast Manufacture is guilloché by hand in the Chronoswiss Atelier in Lucerne, at the heart of a deliberate clash of colours.
Chronoswiss today introduces the ReSec Beast Manufacture, limited to 100 pieces. It takes the brand’s ReSec 3D regulator layout into one of its boldest variations yet.
The 42mm case is Grade 5 titanium with a vivid blue CVD coating, on a matching blue rubber strap. Blue CVD-coated hour and minute rings meet a green retrograde seconds hand at 6 o’clock and an exposed gear train in purple.
Inside is the automatic manufacture calibre C.6005, developed with La Joux-Perret. Its tungsten rotor is skeletonised, and its bridge is ruthenium-plated with a radial Côtes de Genève finish that echoes the dial’s own guilloché. It holds 55 hours of power reserve. The off-centre hours sit at 12 o’clock, with the minutes read from the centre, a small departure that keeps the colour clash easy to read at a glance.
