Chronoswiss Shines in Light & Space: Introducing the New Lunar Chronograph Aurora and Space Timer Gravity

Since 1983, Chronoswiss has symbolized independent Swiss watchmaking, merging classical craftsmanship with visionary design. From the original Lunar Chronograph, which harmoniously combined chronograph, date, and moonphase complications, to the avant-garde Space Timer collection, the maison has continuously redefined horology.

Today, Chronoswiss continues this tradition with two distinguished novelties: the Lunar Chronograph Aurora and the Space Timer Gravity.

These new timepieces offer collectors the rare union of heritage and contemporary innovation, with each watch turning mechanics into a narrative and transforming the act of wearing time into a personal dialogue.

Let’s explore these watches in detail.

The first model, the Lunar Chronograph Aurora, is a refined evolution of a design that has defined Chronoswiss for over two decades. The original 1999 version gained acclaim for its sophisticated integration of chronograph, date, and moonphase complications into one perfectly balanced layout.

The new Lunar Chronograph Aurora, released today, preserves this lineage while asserting a modern presence, blending classical design with contemporary refinement.
 

Every detail of the 41mm polished stainless-steel case and dial reflects Chronoswiss’ philosophy of merging heritage with innovation. From the iconic onion crown to the screwed lugs and partially knurled bezel, the Aurora asserts a subtle yet commanding presence. It is not merely a continuation of a legacy; it is a statement of how classical mechanics can evolve gracefully while remaining recognizably Chronoswiss.

The fully CVD-coated dial shifts from deep green to vivid blue, evoking the ethereal dance of the northern lights. Light catches the surface in a subtle choreography, revealing layers of depth that change with every wrist movement. White Breguet-style hands glide with perfect clarity, accentuating the luminous dial while maintaining legibility in every setting.
 

This interplay of color and form transforms the familiar chronograph complications into a sensory experience. The moon phase at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock balance the central chronograph, while the analog date along the perimeter ensures both functionality and visual symmetry.

The Aurora contains the Caliber C.755 automatic movement, offering a 46-hour power reserve. Its central chronograph seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour counters, moon phase, and small seconds are all meticulously arranged for optimal legibility and visual harmony.

Visible through a sapphire caseback, the movement reveals rhodium-plated bridges and a skeletonized rotor adorned with Côtes de Genève. The tactile beauty of the movement, combined with the subtle play of light on the dial, invites the wearer to appreciate the Aurora’s mechanical artistry with every glance.
 

Paired with a dark grey nubuck strap, this chronograph embodies refinement, sophistication, and the quiet confidence of a modern classic.

With the second model, the Space Timer Gravity, Chronoswiss explores gravity – an invisible, relentless force shaping celestial bodies and horological innovation alike – translating it into a mechanical narrative on the wrist.
 

Beyond mechanics, the Gravity is a study in modern luxury. Its restrained, matte-grey case and soft nubuck strap ensure the dial takes center stage, inviting observers to explore the celestial scene it depicts. It is a watch designed not just to measure time, but to inspire contemplation, reflection, and appreciation of both craftsmanship and the universe itself.

Reminiscent of planetary atmospheres seen from orbit, the new Space Timer Gravity’s dial captivates immediately with a color-changing CVD finish between 1:30 and 6:30 that oscillates between deep green and oceanic blue.

Meanwhile, between 6:30 and 1:30, a lasered moon surface – crafted using authentic NASA imagery – renders craters and ridges in astonishing three-dimensional detail, creating the illusion of holding a fragment of the cosmos on the wrist.
 

Above this textured landscape, transparent ITR2 hour and date rings float seemingly weightless, revealing the exposed gear train, framed by a baby-blue bridge that matches the sweeping seconds hand. This layered composition merges architectural precision with organic flow, transforming the dial into a living tableau where mechanics and artistry coexist in perfect harmony.

Encased in 44mm of matte grey stainless steel, the Gravity houses the Caliber C.308 automatic movement, driving hours, minutes, date, and moonphase at 4 Hz with a 42-hour power reserve. The exposed gear train, skeletonized bridges, and polished escapement parts emphasize technical sophistication while reinforcing the watch’s celestial narrative.
 

The new Space Timer Gravity is not merely a tribute to space; it is a meticulously curated, collectible exploration of forces that shape both worlds and time. For collectors, it offers the rare satisfaction of mechanical precision expressed with contemporary elegance and cosmic inspiration.

The Lunar Chronograph Aurora, which lists for CHF 9,800, dazzles with its ever-changing, aurora-inspired dial paired with a supple nubuck strap, inviting you to experience the cosmos on your wrist.
 

Meanwhile, the Space Timer Gravity, a rare masterpiece limited to only 50 pieces and priced at CHF 21,300, captivates with floating dial elements and a celestial design that feels weightless and infinite.
