Chronoswiss's second reading of the moon is the Space Timer Gravity, built around one of the universe's most powerful forces and a lunar surface lasered from an original NASA photograph.
Today, Chronoswiss introduces the Space Timer Gravity, limited to 50 pieces. It shares its mechanical base with earlier Space Timers, but tells an entirely new story on the dial.
The dial is partly hand-guilloché, engraved line by line in Lucerne, and partly lasered, under a CVD coating that moves between deep green and oceanic blue. Transparent hour and date rings in ITR2, a light composite, seem to float above the exposed gear train, framed by a baby-blue bridge.
The 44mm case is matte grey stainless steel, on a light grey nubuck strap. Inside, the self-winding calibre C.308 runs at 4Hz, with 42 hours of power reserve.
Gravity, Chronoswiss says, is invisible and relentless, shaping everything we see, a force the Space Timer Gravity now carries on the wrist.
