Titanium
Chronoswiss increasingly favors titanium for its lightness. It has the best strength-to-weight ratio among metals, making it highly sought after in aerospace. Additionally, titanium is corrosion-resistant and skin-friendly. For its creations, Chronoswiss exclusively selects the toughest available titanium alloy, Grade 5.
Hand Guilloché
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.
Enamelling
Chronoswiss excels in enameling, where glass dust is melted into radiant dials at high temperatures, preserving a now-scarce skill. This intricate process involves finely grinding enamel pigments, applying them to a guilloché surface, and firing them in an 850°C oven to create a perfect, glassy finish. The layers are built up through multiple firings to achieve the desired richness in color and depth, imbuing their watches with eternal brilliance.
