Round-UpSublime Beauty: Presenting Top-Five Chronoswiss Watches With Alluring Guilloche Dials

Established in 1983, Chronoswiss are a fairly young brand and are a proponent of traditional fine watchmaking, evident in their design ethos and craftsmanship. The company calls itself a ‘modern mechanical’ watch brand, which believes in the ‘symbiosis of horological know-how, non-conformist designs, modern materials, and classical artisanal mastery’. Their watches can be easily recognised, thanks to their prominent design features: a fluted bezel, onion crown, three-dimensional display, and guilloche and enamel dials. The brand is vehemently opposed to mass-produced items and believe in quality over quantity—evident in their artistic watches, created specifically at their atelier in Lucerne, where they have mastered the art of skeltonisation, enamelling, and guilloche. These age-old artistic techniques require years of training and employ only the best skilled watchmakers, resulting in some of the most outstanding creations. Here’s a look at some exquisite offerings from Chronoswiss that showcase magnificent guilloche dials.
