Chronoswiss Introduces New Pulse GMT Enamel Sky Gold and Silver Guilloché Models

April 01

Chronoswiss has recently enriched its contemporary Pulse GMT series with two new offerings, the Enamel Sky Gold and the Silver Guilloché. These new timepieces, which were launched just before Watches and Wonders 2026, exemplify the brand's dedication to merging classic horological techniques with modern design aesthetics. The Pulse collection, first introduced last year, reinterprets Chronoswiss's signature regulator watches by incorporating a contemporary case and an integrated bracelet while retaining iconic design elements such as the prominent onion crown and coin-edge bezel. Both new GMT models house a sophisticated automatic movement that supports dual time zones, making them ideal for global travelers, and represent Chronoswiss's evolving identity in the luxury watch market.

The Pulse GMT Enamel Sky Gold is presented as the more exclusive variant, limited to a mere 50 units. This timepiece features a 41mm case constructed from 5N 18-carat red gold, paired with a fully integrated gold bracelet. A standout feature of this model is its paillonnné enamel dial. The dial's white-gold base is meticulously engraved with hand-guilloché patterns using vintage machinery at the Chronoswiss workshop in Lucerne. This intricate process involves multiple layers of translucent blue enamel, fired at high temperatures, before tiny star-shaped gold paillons are individually placed under magnification. A final transparent enamel layer seals these elements, creating a captivating visual effect where the gold stars appear to float above the textured guilloché surface.

In contrast, the Pulse GMT Silver Guilloché offers a different aesthetic while maintaining the core design principles. Limited to 200 pieces, this model is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, with its case seamlessly transitioning into an integrated bracelet. This construction not only enhances the modern appeal of the Pulse design but also ensures exceptional comfort for daily wear. Instead of enamel, the titanium version highlights traditional engine-turned decoration, featuring two distinct guilloché patterns that interact across the dial. This interplay of patterns creates a dynamic visual experience, with light shifting and reflecting as the watch moves on the wrist. Both variants share a multi-layered dial construction, featuring sun-blasted rings on the periphery, domed subdials for home and local time, and blued steel hour indices complemented by blued steel hands.

Powering both new Pulse GMT watches is the Chronoswiss Manufacture calibre C.6002, an automatic movement developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a substantial 55-hour power reserve. Its dual-time module is efficiently laid out, with a 24-hour subdial at 9 o’clock indicating the second time zone and a 12-hour subdial at 3 o’clock displaying local time. Central minutes and seconds hands elegantly connect these indications, providing a clear and balanced presentation of the GMT complication. This meticulous engineering ensures both precision and reliability for the wearer.

These two new releases perfectly illustrate Chronoswiss's dual mission: honouring classic artisanal practices while embracing contemporary design innovation. The titanium version is priced at EUR 18,500, offering a modern, robust option, while the gold model, with its intricate enamel work and precious metal construction, retails for EUR 87,000. These additions to the Pulse collection underscore Chronoswiss's ability to offer diverse and compelling timepieces that appeal to both traditionalists and those seeking avant-garde horological expressions.
