Gerd-Rüdiger Lang introduced the Digiteur without hands in 2005, and its jumping-hour idea now returns dressed in three soft pastels.

Chronoswiss began in Munich in 1983 with master watchmaker Gerd Rüdiger Lang and now works in Lucerne, and two new stone dials connect those places.

At its Atelier Lucerne, Chronoswiss has sandblasted a hand-guilloché dial so that it diffuses light rather than reflecting it, which the brand calls a Chronoswiss first.

Chronoswiss drew the Opus Dakar Sundown from the last golden light over the desert, pairing steel with 18ct red gold and a sand-coloured strap.

At the Chronoswiss Atelier Lucerne, the dial of the new Delphis Glacier is guilloché by hand, with textures inspired by glacial ice.

Chronoswiss has turned to the Roaring Twenties, and the geometry of Art Deco, for a new edition of the Delphis, one of its best-known complications since 1996.

In the Chronoswiss Atelier in Lucerne, an engraver spends weeks cutting Chronos, the ancient Greek god of time, into a solid gold case, one stroke at a time.

At the Chronoswiss Atelier in Lucerne, tiny stars of gold are cut and set by hand under magnification, then sealed beneath layers of fired blue enamel for the watch’s dial.

Chronoswiss designed its new GMT for people who live between time zones, taking the idea from an earlier watch of its own, the Tora.

Chronoswiss's second reading of the moon is the Space Timer Gravity, built around one of the universe's most powerful forces and a lunar surface lasered from an original NASA photograph.

Chronoswiss reads the moon two ways this season. The Lunar Chronograph Aurora takes the softer route, into a dial that shifts colour with the light.

In 2005, founder Gerd-Rüdiger Lang made the Chronoswiss Digiteur, a mechanical watch without hands, and twenty years later it returns in stainless steel.
