Chronoswiss's bold new Space Timer Gravity watch is a stunning example of the brand's evolution. Once known for classic regulator watches and skeletonized chronographs, Chronoswiss has embraced a more expressive, colorful, and demonstrative design. The Space Timer collection is at the heart of this change, translating the traditional regulator display into bold compositions inspired by the cosmos. With the Space Timer Gravity edition, Chronoswiss focuses on a force that governs everything: gravity.
The Space Timer Gravity's 44mm stainless steel case is unchanged and classic Chronoswiss, with straight lugs, a knurled bezel, and the signature onion crown. It's finished in matte grey to avoid reflections and allow the dial to be the center of attention. With a 15.2mm thickness, the proportions work to create a visually and physically satisfying experience. The watch is 100m water-resistant, thanks to sapphire crystals on both sides and a screw-down caseback.
The dial is a masterpiece of complexity, built from 63 components. It combines partially hand-guilloché surfaces with laser-engraved elements and color-shifting CVD coatings that shift between deep green and blue depending on the light. The left side of the dial's surface is laser-textured using NASA imagery to recreate a cratered lunar landscape in subtle relief. The hand-guilloché part should evoke images of an atmosphere seen from orbit.
Chronoswiss's regulator display is retained and reinterpreted. Hours are off-center, closer to 12 o'clock, while the minutes and second hands are centrally mounted. Transparent ITR2 rings for the hour and date indications appear to float above the dial, revealing the open-worked gear train beneath. Super-LumiNova ceramic cylinders mark the hours, and the moon phase globe is inside the date subdial ring.
Powering the Space Timer Gravity is the automatic Chronoswiss Calibre C.308, based on the ETA 2895 with an in-house regulator module. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering 42 hours of autonomy, it is visible through the sapphire caseback, with perlage, polished components, and a skeletonized rotor.
The watch is worn on a grey nubuck leather strap, closed with a pin buckle. Production is limited to 50 pieces, reinforcing the exclusivity of the Space Timer concept. This edition is priced at EUR 23,400 (incl. taxes). For more details and to place an online order, please visit chronoswiss.com.
