Chronoswiss Edition Zeitzeichen

CHRONOSWISS-ZEITZEICHEN-2.jpg

German watch manufacturer Chronoswiss worked with master craftsman Jochen Benzinger to create 3 limited versions of the Zeitzeichen, meaning "Signs of the Times". The three versions are: the Zeitzeichen V (floral, fully skeletonized), the Zeitzeichen VI (floral, partial dial) and the Zeitzeichen VII (dragon).

Each see-through dial has been engraved and skeletonized by hand and some parts are finished with a guilloché pattern. Each of the three models is available in a series of 33 pieces. Case dimensions are 44mm x 10.8mm and there is a choice of either 18 red or white gold.

Each luxury watch features a flat anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the front and back. And of course, each piece, comes with a signature oversized crown.

Inside each timepiece is a customized ETA 6498-1 manual wind movement, running at 18,000 vph (2.5 hertz), with 17 jewels. The base plates, gear-train bridges and balance cocks have all been elaborately skeletonized and engraved, by hand. Some of the components are coated with a cool blue platinum and the hands are made of a blued steel. Price TBD.
