SKELTEC & OPUS

In September 2020, the independent watchmaker Chronoswiss is releasing two watches with radically different approaches to 21st-century skeletonising: The extreme and contemporary SkelTec, which features a unique Chronoswiss movement, and seriously updated versions of the emblematic Opus Chronograph. The mechanical clarity of the classical Opus Chronograph is achieved by dexterously paring away all superfluous material, leaving nothing but a filigreed skeleton – which functions just as well as when fully fleshed. On the SkelTec, however, Chronoswiss has created the brand-new C.304 movement, where maximum reduction of the entire movement has already been realized on the drawing board.
