hronoswiss, the trailblazing watchmaker from Lucerne, proudly unveils the revolutionary Delphis Firestarter, a timepiece that sets a new benchmark for horological innovation and artistry. Limited to just 50 pieces, this extraordinary creation is housed in a world novelty: A Titanium Core Nano Shell case. What you see is not a coating, it is the perfect symbiosis of a high-performance composite with a Grade 5 titanium core on a molecular level.

Through an advanced bonding process, the titanium core permanently merges with a 0.4mm ultra-lightweight yet resilient composite shell in fiery red. Within this complicated process, the case is carved out of a solid block of the high-end composite. The world’s first Titanium Core Nano Shell case creates an eye-catching aesthetic, setting a new standard in modern watch case engineering.

The Delphis Firestarter is a true celebration of bold design and timeless craftsmanship. Its centre stage is the mesmerising curved, hand guilloched dial, decorated with 5 layers of red fire enamel, meticulously handcrafted on 18ct white gold in the Chronoswiss Atelier in Lucerne. The striking half-moon-shaped upper dial is accented by an umbrella-shaped small second at 6 o’clock, whose dramatic design evokes a blazing warning sign - a perfect homage to the watch’s fiery theme.

This stunning dial is paired with Chronoswiss’s signature jumping hour mechanism, prominently displayed at 12 o’clock. A retrograde minute hand, sweeping gracefully across the upper half of the dial, completes the iconic design that has made the Delphis collection legendary in the world of haute horology.

At its core, the Delphis Firestarter is driven by the C.6004 Manufacture movement, offering a robust 55-hour power reserve. This state-of-the-art movement not only ensures precision timekeeping but also underscores Chronoswiss’s dedication to mechanical excellence. The new Titanium Core Nano Shell case frames the fiery dial and innovative movement with a modern yet timeless appeal, measuring a sleek 42mm in diameter.

The Delphis Firestarter epitomizes Chronoswiss’s relentless pursuit of innovation and artistry paired with a firery sprak of audacity to set the watch world on fire from time after time. By combining cutting-edge material science with traditional craftsmanship, this limited-edition timepiece showcases the perfect harmony of past, present, and future. It is a bold statement for collectors who seek the extraordinary - a watch that literally starts a fire in the heart of watchmaking enthusiasts.

The Delphis Firestarter will be available in 50 pieces worldwide, setting the stage for collectors to own a piece of horological history.
