Chronoswiss casts the Strike Two Nugget in solid 18ct red gold, crafted by the independent watchmakers of Lucerne as a tribute to the gold rush.
Chronoswiss today introduces the Strike Two Nugget, limited to 100 pieces. It is, the brand says, the most ambitious Strike Two it has made yet.
The anthracite dial is hand-guillochéd in the Atelier Lucerne, its galvanic finish laid over a brass base, read by polished steel-blue hands. A glossy white lacquered small seconds at 9 o’clock breaks the monochrome, while the hour sub-dial sits raised at 3 o’clock, its gears exposed beneath. A coin-edged bezel and polished facets carry the same finish through to the case.
Inside is the manufacture Calibre C.6000, developed with La Joux-Perret, its tungsten rotor and ruthenium-plated bridge finished with a radial Côtes de Genève pattern. It holds 55 hours of power reserve. Chronoswiss calls it a nugget in every sense, gold worked until the case and the movement match.
