Watches And Wonders 2024: Chronoswiss Honors The Regulator Layout With Release of Two New Iterations In The ReSec and Strike Two Series
In the aftermath of the quartz revolution, when the very soul of mechanical watchmaking seemed under threat, Chronoswiss emerged in 1983 as a champion of tradition and design. Led by the visionary Gerd-Rüdiger Lang, a maestro of both chronographs and history, the brand did something extraordinary. They plucked the regulator, a near-forgotten marvel from the 18th century, and breathed new life into it, placing it proudly on the wrist once more.
At Watches and Wonders 2024, Chronoswiss continues this legacy. They honor the classic vertical regulator with the release of stunning new ReSec timepieces, and push the boundaries with two innovative Strike Two models featuring the unique horizontal regulator layout.
An Avant-Garde Homage to The Past
Swiss watchmaking thrives on a deep respect for heritage. Here, methods are honed by generations, and traditions hold a powerful sway. Yet, within this reverence for the past, a rare innovator emerges, one who dares to subtly rewrite the script. Chronoswiss embodies this very spirit. At Watches and Wonders 2024, they resurrect the regulator, a testament to 18th-century ingenuity, while simultaneously embracing the future with cutting-edge materials and finishing techniques. They are, in essence, the guardians of the past who propel it boldly into the future.
Chronoswiss ReSec: Green Monster and Vertical Blue
A legend reborn on the wrist. The ReSec Green Monster Manufacture is the latest horological masterpiece from Chronoswiss, a timepiece ignited by the fearless spirit of 1960s Bonneville racers. The Green Monster embodies the exquisite fusion of heritage and cutting-edge craftsmanship. Its heart, the all-new Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6005, is a marvel of mechanical prowess. Ruthenium-plated and adorned with a mesmerizing radial Côte de Genève, it's a testament to the art of watchmaking. The hand-guillochéd dial, veiled in a mystical CVD coating, dances with color, shifting from emerald green to sapphire blue in an iridescent spectacle.
Encased in a robust 42mm shell of Grade 5 titanium, the Green Monster transcends mere timekeeping. It's a captivating story of speed, a vibrant dream captured and worn on the wrist. Secured by a high-quality green rubber strap, it's as bold as it is precise, a perfect reflection of the watch's unbridled spirit.
The Green Monster presented at Watches and Wonders 2024 is limited to just 100 pieces.
