CH-9343.2 Space Timer Moonwalk

The Space Timer Moonwalk is the dream come true to explore the unknown depths of the galaxy. With what is probably the most uncompromising moon phase watch in the world of watchmaking, the race for the moon has begun and is limited to just 50 pieces.

The simplest dreams are often the hardest to achieve. It took mankind 2000 years to leave earth for just a few seconds. Going into space took decades more. To set foot on the moon? That was yesterday. To go back there? Maybe tomorrow. Most important: To keep pushing the horizon, and your dreams.

 

The Space Timer Moonwalk was born from this desire. It is probably the most complex creation Chronoswiss has ever made. In this timepiece we find some typical elements of the brand, thanks to which we immediately feel on familiar ground: The hour indicator at 12 o'clock with a visible gear train, under a bridge that we could already find within the tourbillon models; central minutes and seconds; an onion crown and a 44mm case are similar to the Open Gear collection. However, this is where the comparison ends. Because the complexity of the Space Timer Moonwalk pushes the limits of what is imaginable.

 

The dial alone consists of 63 components - a record that will be repeated throughout the Space Timer collection from which the Moonwalk comes. At 6 o'clock Chronoswiss has created a moon phase with date - an integrated titanium double complication and a premier for Chronoswiss. The date is indicated by odd Arabic numerals and for even dates, by steel microbeads just 0.6mm in diameter.

They are individually surrounded by a disk of ITR2, a new-generation carbon nanotube-based material. It is eight times lighter than steel and can be polished, sandblasted, painted and satin finished. It is partially skeletonized for the hour display, polished on the front and sandblasted on the back. The idea? To create the illusion that time - the day, the moon, the stars - seem to float in the interstellar void.

 

For the Space Timer Moonwalk, Chronoswiss has developed a unique guilloche pattern that was made entirely by hand. Its name? Moonwalk. Yes, like the dance of the pop legend. The motif picks up on the legendary step: A step forward? Backward? Slipped, walked? All of that and at once. But for the artist as well as for Chronoswiss, the exact rhythm will forever remain a mystery. Only the massive Super-LumiNova cylinders throw a veil of light over it.

 

The game of hands is fascinatingly complex. Hours and minutes are skeletonized and coated with Super-LumiNova. The second’s hand is hand-bent and has a red tip for easy reading on a midnight blue rim. The last hand, that of the date, is the fusion of the previous ones: Skeletonized, red & luminous. A real choreography of the stars, which, like the planets of the solar system, are in constant rotation. But defying the gravitational pull of the universe, this cosmic ballet is set in motion by a force that is clearly visible on the caseback: The automatic C.308 caliber, with a 42-hour power reserve and an oscillating weight finished with a Cote de Geneve cut, flies over pearl bridges with the speed of light.

 

To infinity and beyond!
