The Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur Sand And Granit — Two Homage "Montres Sans Aiguilles" In Steel
The Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur Sand and Granit watches are modern reinterpretations of the brand's original Digiteur MSA from 2005, which paid homage to jump-hour timepieces from the early 20th century. Available in limited editions of 99 pieces each, these handless watches feature an updated stainless steel design with a bold rectangular case measuring 30mm by 48mm. The Neo Digiteur Granit showcases an anthracite dial with deep blue glossy numerals, while the Neo Digiteur Sand sports a 4N-gold-plated sandblasted dial. Priced at CHF 12,500, €13,800, and US$15,200, both models combine aesthetic appeal with advanced functionality. At the heart of each watch lies the Chronoswiss C.85757 movement, a hand-winding mechanism with a 48-hour power reserve that allows users to read time through a system of jumping hours and digital minutes. The watches are designed for comfort, featuring polished edges and a unique sandblasted segment along the case side, enhancing both lightness and contrast. With artisanal details like partial hand-guilloché finishing on the movement, these pieces represent a blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, showcasing Chronoswiss's commitment to quality and innovation in watchmaking.
