Description

The Small Second Desert captures the raw elegance of untouched landscapes in a sleek, modern mechanical timepiece. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case, its dial features a laser-engraved and nano-printed surface that mimics the shifting textures of desert sand - rugged, layered, and full of depth. Powered by the Chronoswiss Manufacture Caliber C.6000, it displays central hours and minutes with a refined small second at 9 o’clock, all set within a subtly curved, multi-level dial architecture. The pilot-style leather strap adds a utilitarian edge, grounding the piece in functionality while enhancing its bold presence. The Desert is mechanically focused, visually striking, and unmistakably modern.

Features

Guilloché is a traditional technique, which engraves detailed, interwoven lines on surfaces, creating unique light patterns. Chronoswiss excels in this art, producing dials with precise, radiating designs using two main guilloché machines: the straight-line and rose engine. Despite the absence of manuals for over two centuries, Master-Guillocheurs have maintained their expertise through a deep understanding of these machines. Creating one of those complex dials takes several hours. Today, Chronoswiss's guilloché dials stand as both a tribute to and a celebration of this enduring craft, showcasing its timeless appeal with a modern twist.
