Chronoswiss's bold new Space Timer Gravity watch is a stunning example of the brand's evolution. Once known for its 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 new Space Timer Gravity edition, Chronoswiss focuses on a force that governs everything: gravity. The 44mm stainless steel case remains unchanged and classic Chronoswiss, with straight lugs, a knurled bezel, and the signature onion crown. Finished in matte grey, it avoids reflections and allows the dial to take center stage. The proportions work visually and physically, with a 15.2mm thickness. Sapphire crystals on both sides and a screw-down caseback make the watch 100m water-resistant. The dial is a masterpiece, combining 63 components. It features 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 but 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/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, visit chronoswiss.com.
