List of Watches / Accessories
Chronoswiss is a passionate but young Swiss watchmaker who came up from a small Lucerne-based atelier amid the quartz crisis to instill a spirit of traditional watchmaking. The family-run brand focuses on creating horological masterpieces that can pass as an everyday watch. They introduced the Space Timer models through an inspiration of the heavenly bodies in our solar system.
About Chronoswiss Space Timer Watches
The Chronoswiss Space Timer is a collection of the Moonwalk and Jupiter. These models have dials inspired by the surface of these celestial bodies, a 3D titanium orb moon phase, and a 3D hour window made from ITR2. The transparent material, ITR2 (Integrated Transparent Reflector 2), has Superluminova markings and a sandblasted finish.
Its mesmerizing dial is a combination of handmade guilloche, galvanic meteor coating, and laser-etched patterns with a nano-printed finish.
Also, the Space Timer takes on a new light in low light conditions. It uses ceramic cylinders mixed with Superluminova as minute indicators. All raised elements on the dial, such as its train wheel bridge, moon phase display, and date ring structure, all receive a bright blue CVD coating.
Combined with a screw-down display caseback and large onion crown, Space Timer offers up to 100 meters of water resistance.
Chronoswiss Space Timer History

All the Space Timer watches with their moon phase and fine guilloche dials have become one of the most complicated watches in the history of Chronoswiss.

What's Unique About Chronoswiss Space Timer Watches?
The Space Timer collection is every definition of unique. Each model is an ode to the universe and its celestial bodies.
The dial is where all the action is. The background is a nano-printed 3D representation of the surface of a planet and moon phase depicting its moon. It has a separate hour window that's made from a transparent plastic-like material called ITR2, which gives an un-intrusive three-dimensional view of the dial.
Whether it's stainless steel or gold, the Space Timer's classic case architecture offers a much-needed contrast to its futuristic dial.
Also, its oversized onion-shaped crown is unique to Chronoswiss and is one of the largest in the industry.
Chronoswiss Space Timer Movements
The Space Timer uses a caliber C.308, which surprisingly is based on the popular ETA base 2895. It has undergone several modifications to accommodate the eccentric design of the dial. This self-winding movement has 42 hours of power reserve and 28,000 beats per hour or 4 hertz.
It has a skeletonized rotor, partly skeletonized hands, Cote de Geneve (striped) cuts, and 33 jewels depicting special attention to reliability and artistic finishing.
Chronoswiss Space Timer Watch Colors
Space Timer models are either brightly colored or bold with a black theme. Essentially, this collection uses colors to depict the planet surface it's trying to capture. The Black Hole is a pure example sporting an all-around black design with white indicators only added for contrast and readability.
Generally, Space Timers have a predominant dial color of either blue, orange, or black with white accents on their hands and indicators paired with a black or orange strap. The Space Timer lights up in the dark with either a strong green or blue SuperLumiNova coating.
Chronoswiss Space Timer Watch Materials
The Chronoswiss Space Timer is a material-rich collection. Stainless steel is predominantly used for the case, but a few models have either a gold case or a DLC-coated stainless steel coating.
Moving into the dial is where you find a horde of materials and components. Its breathtaking moon phase orb is made from titanium, while the alluring dial details of the dial are nano-printed.
The cut-out hour window is made from ITR2, an innovative transparent material used for the hour and date indicators, which gives it a seemingly floating appearance. Straps are hand-finished alligator leather, closing off an eccentric watch with a classical finish.
