„Neo Digiteur“: Chronoswiss’ digital tradition

Twenty years after its debut, the „Neo Digiteur“ from Chronoswiss returns – with a hands-free display for jumping hours, digital minutes and seconds.

Chronoswiss calls the original "Digiteur" from 2005 an oddity that challenged conventions. The timepiece was designed by Chronoswiss founder Gerd-Rüdiger Lang, who drew inspiration from early pocket watches with jumping hours and digital displays.

The new „Neo Digiteur“, limited to 99 pieces, revives the original from 2005 with a tapered rectangular case and a digital display.

The sculptural stainless steel watch displays the time via three windows: jumping hours, flowing minutes and seconds – all powered by the hand-wound caliber C.85757 with an in-house developed module.

This movement precisely controls the jumping hour as well as the running minutes and seconds. Visible through a rectangular viewing window, the movement features hand-guillochéd, gold-plated, and ruthenium-coated components, thus combining tradition with modern watchmaking architecture. It is protected by a stainless steel case (48 x 30 x 9.7 mm) that is water-resistant to 5 bar.

The two limited editions of the „Neo Digiteur“ are each limited to 99 pieces: The „Neo Digiteur Granit“ features an anthracite dial with vertical satin finishing and minimalist blue numerals. The „Neo Digiteur Sand“ boasts a sandblasted 4N dial with elegant navy blue typography.“
