Some might call it crazy, others amusing: one of the undoubtedly most unusual watches presented in Basel was Chronoswiss' Wristmaster, a combination of two independent watches on one base plate, similar to the marvelous vintage car instrumental clocks also offered by Chronoswiss. While the latter are a lot larger, the diameter of the Wristmaster's dials is "only" about 45 mm. The series production models will have a bayonet lock mechanism, permitting an individual arrangement of the two watches. Maybe even additional complications will be made that can plugged onto the plate.
Unusually, the chronograph also has an automatic winding system.
The Opus, one of Chronoswiss' most traditional and famous pieces, now is available in a slightly larger case, which really makes this watch even more beautiful.
The larger case is also given to the Lunar, here in 18k pink gold. The new cases modify the classic coin-edge bezel, by reducing the structured part in favour of a smooth ring on top.
A highly attractive novelty is this 24 hours Regulator. also note the smooth bezel, that is untypical for Chronoswiss.
For the Ladies, there is the "Imperia", while Gentlemen may get the matching "Imperator".
In theTimemaster series, the SuperLuminova becomes more brightly coloured, mostly in blue. The final production models will have a sightly darker blue on the dials.
This 24 hours Timemaster surely looks stunning!
