The Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur, The Return of the Brand’s Jumping Hour Guichet Watch
The Chronoswiss Neo Digiteur is a re-engineered version of the original Digiteur MSA, showcasing a unique design without hands, featuring three apertures for reading time. This limited edition watch, released in two variants—Granit and Sand—maintains the brand's signature mechanical rebellion while offering contemporary proportions and a stainless steel case. The case measures 48mm by 30mm and is adorned with a sapphire crystal, ensuring water resistance up to 50 meters. The legible dial presents jumping hours, dragging digital minutes, and sweeping seconds, all crafted with precision and refined aesthetics. At its heart lies the new Calibre C.85757, a hand-wound movement that operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and provides 48 hours of power reserve. This movement incorporates a proprietary module for jumping hours while ensuring smooth functioning of the minute and second discs. The watch is complemented by a black nubuck leather strap and is limited to 99 pieces per variant, priced at EUR 13,800. This release revives interest in guichet watches and embodies a blend of modern technology and classic design principles, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts alike.
