Chronoswiss Open Gear ReSec Hurricane

A Storm is arising. Chronoswiss is proud to present you its newest Chronoswiss ReSec family member: The Hurricane.

The world of watchmaking may appear as a calm place, where only once every few decades fresh wind clears up outdated habits. Not in Lucerne however, where Chronoswiss is manufacturing unique timepiece inside its Atelier. For the family run watch brand, a little breeze has never been the mindset of choice: It is about more, about moving fast & breaking things if necessary.

Consequently, nothing less than a wildly escalating Hurricane has been captured in a pitch black 44mm DLC case. The stunning high frequency guilloché sets the scene on the all-black 3-dimensional dial of the newest Open Gear ReSec. The shape of a moving Hurricane was created by hand with the aid of a century-old rose-engine turning machine in the Chronoswiss atelier & appears to storm through all levels of the dial, that is in fact part of the movement.

It seems as if the relentless Hurricane has revealed the raw mechanics that other watch brands carefully hide. A closer look uncovers even more complex finishes and complications. While the hour ring hovers far above the ground, the bridge spanning the 120-degree 30-second retrograde second stands strong in the eye of the Hurricane like a beacon in rough sea. 

The newest Chronoswiss ReSec has an unparalleled depth and a provocative dark and dangerous feel due to its black coating. Finally, when the night lays its shade over the Hurricane the massive Super-LumiNova pillars that are used for the five-minute markers enlighten the dark.

Limited to only 50 pieces worldwide, the ReSec Hurricane will be hard to find but once you do it will leave its marks forever.
