n exquisitely crafted watch case which doubles as a piece of tasteful home décor will resonate with watch enthusiasts and design aficionados alike. The ChronoSphere was created to be reminiscent of our planet, with spiralled lines evocative of the meridians on our globe. The outer shell uses reinforced Tide Ocean^® Material, which is an award winning, sustainably sourced and repurposed ocean PET, while the lining is being made from luxurious eco-friendly suede otherwise used by the very best watch manufacturers in the industry.

With a horizontal twist motion, the ChronoSphere is unlatched and split into its two components. The locking mechanism is facilitated by 2 aluminium rings, held in place by hexagonal stainless steel screws. The bottom component comes with the ChronoSphere’s flexible cushion fit into its slot, with the top adorning the same protective lining against the crystal of your wristwatch. The ChronoSphere is intended to accommodate the wristwatch in your active rotation: Hidden in plain sight in a safe space without being locked away in an actual, bulky safe. Your watch will be resting within a representation of our planet while waiting to be put back on your wrist.

The ChronoSphere measures 130 mm in diameter and weighs 320 grams. The outer casing is made from Tide Ocean^® Material, which is an award winning, sustainably sourced and repurposed ocean PET. Tide Ocean^® is a Swiss company specialised in the collection, upcycling and verifying of the plastics used by other leading brands such as Maurice Lacroix, Norqain, Tom Ford and Hugo Boss.

The interior of the ChronoSphere is lined with luxurious Chamel Recycled^®, a durable material which contains 84% PET made by another local Swiss manufacturer.

The ChronoSphere can be found and purchased on aiscollective.com for 225 CHF with a launch edition limited to only 200 pieces featuring salmon lining, along with the core collection as “obsidian black” variant as well as “midnight blue”.
