Quick TakeThis Chronoswiss isn't just telling time; it's telling a story across its multi-layered face. Forget simple hour markers; the Regulator layout gives minutes the starring role, sweeping centrally while hours tick away in their own dedicated spot up top. Down at six, the seconds subdial has this cool, airy, skeletonized vibe. But the real conversation starter sits at nine o'clock: that gorgeous, domed day/night display. It's like having a tiny mechanical sky on your wrist, complete with little lume-coated stars that pop when the lights go down – way more interesting than a basic AM/PM window! All this horological theatre unfolds within a warm, 18k red gold case, blending classic luxury with Chronoswiss's signature technical look. Paired with that hand-sewn alligator strap, it transitions effortlessly from boardroom discussions to evening explorations. It's a complex piece, no doubt, but wears its intricacy with undeniable charm and a clever celestial twist.

DescriptionThe timepiece designated CH-8761R-BKBK incorporates a case constructed from 18 karat red gold, comprising 16 distinct parts. Its dimensions measure 41 mm in diameter and 13.85 mm in height. The case exhibits a dual finish, featuring both polished surfaces and areas with a vertical satin treatment, complemented by an onion-style crown. A screw-down case back, treated with a satin finish and fitted with a sapphire crystal window, secures the movement enclosure. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar, equivalent to a depth of 100 meters. The bezel is a polished, screw-down type characterized by a full thread and side knurling, mounting a curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. Lug spacing accommodates a strap width of 21 mm.

Powering the watch is the Caliber C.296 automatic movement, operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 alternations per hour) and providing an approximate power reserve of 42 hours. This movement integrates 31 jewels. Finishing details include a rhodium-plated pallet with spiral offsets, circular-grained bridges, and screws finished with either thermal bluing or polishing. The rotor mechanism is notably skeletonized and black galvanized, engraved with Geneva Stripes, and operates on a ball bearing mount. Further refinements encompass a polished pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws, alongside perlage applied to the bridges and plates. The dial presents an elaborate two-level construction: the lower level is black galvanized, housing the three-dimensional day/night display and skeletonized small seconds subdial. The upper level employs funnel-like structures for the hours and seconds display indications. Time is indicated via off-centre hours at 12:00, central minutes, and small seconds at 6:00. A date aperture resides at 3:00, and the distinctive 3-D day/night indicator is positioned at 9:00. The hands are Feuille-shaped, red gold plated, polished, and feature Super-LumiNova inlays on the hour and minute indicators. Stars within the night portion of the day/night display are also treated with Super-LumiNova.
