Chronoswiss Delphis Dracula, Dune & Horizon
Chronoswiss announces the launching of the Dracula, Dune and Horizon, a stunning new addition to the esteemed Delphis collection. Three new pieces encased in 18-carat rose gold and Grade 5 titanium, and adorned with a Grand Feu enamel dials.
The Delphis Dracula
Chronoswiss introduces the Delphis Dracula, a timepiece that marries timeless elegance with a touch of the supernatural, created for eternity. Crafted from 18ct solid gold and featuring a hand-guilloched, blood-red Grand Feu enamel dial, this watch is set to captivate and mesmerize.
Legend has it that vampires live eternally, as long as they avoid daylight. During the day, they retreat to coffins, resting and preparing for the night. Similarly, the Delphis Dracula finds its resting place in an exquisite wooden coffin—a true collector’s box that adds an element of mystery and immortal allure.
A Tale of Immortality and Precision
Inspired by the eternal legend of Count Dracula, the new Delphis, created in the Atelier in Lucerne, embodies the essence of immortality. The deep red enamel dial crafted using the ancient technique of Grand Feu enamel on a hand-guilloched, 18ct gold and curved surface symbolizes the eternal bloodline and the timeless nature of the vampire myth. This timepiece is a story, a legend brought to life. The process of creating the Delphis Dracula's dial is an extraordinary act of craftsmanship. It involves the meticulous application of seven layers of translucent enamel, each one requiring perfect execution with absolutely no margin for error. This painstaking process ensures a rich, deep red hue that radiates with intensity and luster, embodying the very essence of Dracula's bloody eternal allure. The curved guilloche dial crafted by hand on century-old machines, represents a lineage of handcraft that dates back centuries - possibly even back to the time of vampire tales and myths.
In addition to its aesthetic beauty, the Delphis Dracula boasts a mechanical marvel with a very rare complication that instantly captivates the eye: Jumping Hours and a Retrograde Minute. At its heart lies the new manufacture movement C.6004, developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret, that elevates the artistry of watchmaking in Lucerne to new heights.
The Delphis Dune
Inspired by the endless dunes and the timeless allure of the desert, the Delphis Dune captures the essence of natural beauty and serenity. The enamel paint, carefully applied in seven fine layers on the hand-guilloched 18ct red gold dial inside the Atelier Lucerne, builds the center stage for the stunning retrograde Minute and jumping hour complication. It reflects the shifting sands and the ever-changing landscape of the desert. This watch is a journey through time, capturing the spirit of exploration and discovery.
Superior Craftsmanship
The Chronoswiss Delphis family is known for its technical excellence while offering a unique aesthetic appeal at the same time. The titanium grade 5 case with its 42mm diameter provides a lightweight yet robust frame, perfectly complementing the rich, sandy hues of the enamel dial. This combination of materials and colors creates a watch that is both durable and captivating.
The Delphis Dune is crafted in limited quantities of just 50 pieces, ensuring its exclusivity and appeal to discerning collectors. Each piece is a work of art, reflecting Chronoswiss’s dedication to quality and innovation, distinctively “Modern Mechanical”.
