With its X-shaped bezel and XXL size, the Big Square Chronograph immediately sets the tone. As far removed as possible from the traditional round watch, it takes a 180° turn with an avant-garde design that goes against everything traditional watchmaking has known. Raised numerals 3, 6, 9 and 12 are the cardinal points on the case, surrounding a spectacular domed sapphire crystal also in the shape of an X. Designed by brand founder Shant Ghouchian, the hands move as if by magic beneath this signature X as if to symbolise Gvchiani’s arrival in the elite circle of luxury watchmaking. Made entirely in the Geneva region, this debut collection extends to titanium, black DLC titanium and anthracite DLC titanium, together with white or pink gold with different diamond-setting options. Each version is an 83-piece limited series.
