The Space Timer Moonwalk is probably the most complex creation Chronoswiss has ever made. In this timepiece we find some typical elements of the brand: The hour indicator at 12 o’clock with a visible gear train, under a bridge that we could already find within the tourbillon models; central minutes and seconds; an onion crown and a 44mm case are similar to the Open Gear collection. However, this is where the comparison ends. 

At 6 o’clock Chronoswiss has created a moon phase with date – an integrated titanium double complication and a premier for Chronoswiss. The date is indicated by odd Arabic numerals and for even dates, by steel microbeads just 0.6mm in diameter.  They are individually surrounded by a disk of ITR2, a new-generation carbon nanotube-based material. It is eight times lighter than steel and can be polished, sandblasted, painted and satin finished. It is partially skeletonized for the hour display, polished on the front and sandblasted on the back. The idea? To create the illusion that time – the day, the moon, the stars – seem to float in the interstellar void.

For the Space Timer Moonwalk, Chronoswiss has developed a unique guilloche pattern that was made entirely by hand. Hours and minutes are skeletonized and coated with Super-LumiNova. The second’s hand is hand-bent and has a red tip for easy reading on a midnight blue rim. The last hand, that of the date, is the fusion of the previous ones: Skeletonized, red & luminous. A real choreography of the stars, which, like the planets of the solar system, are in constant rotation. But defying the gravitational pull of the universe, this cosmic ballet is set in motion by a force that is clearly visible on the caseback: The automatic C.308 caliber, with a 42-hour power reserve and an oscillating weight finished with a Cote de Geneve cut, flies over pearl bridges with the speed of light.
