Forget navy blue. Midnight blue, celestial blue, petrol blue and royal blue. Welcome to electric blue. Chronoswiss puts fingers in the plug and electrifies its new Open Gear regulator. A high voltage limited edition....

Maik Panziera, Design Director at Chronoswiss, has vivid childhood memories. Among them: those of a father with golden hands, who repaired everything, all by himself. A "self-made man" of DIY, with sometimes unorthodox but effective methods. Man did not learn from books, but from experience. So it was with electricity. What better way to see if current is flowing into a plug...than to plunge a screwdriver into it?

“It was not very orthodox but it was his way of doing things. I grew up in the sound and light of the flashes and electric arcs with which my father regularly illuminated our house, ”smiles Maik Panziera today.

“Electric Blue”: the name was perfect for the new Open Gear ReSec from Chronoswiss. A piece that is also not very conventional, rather cheeky, off the beaten track. Like Chronoswiss. Like its customers.

For its “Electric Blue”, Chronoswiss has developed a new guilloché. It starts from the center of the room and irradiates the unique architecture of the regulator with an electric blue ray: hour at noon, central minutes, small Retrograde Seconds at 6 o'clock – hence its name, ReSec. From each of these functions we can see a few discreet wheels, an “Open Gear” architecture dear to Chronoswiss.

Entirely blue, case, bracelet and dial, the Electric Blue will only be produced in 50 pieces. As ephemeral as an electric arc, intense as a current, it offers a very trendy vision of Haute Horlogerie in a diameter of 44 mm – for those who are not afraid to free themselves from codes and conventions, nor from forge their own watchmaking path.
