The Chronoswiss Delphis Firestarter is a striking example of high-end watchmaking that blends traditional techniques with cutting-edge materials and bold design. Known for its distinctive regulator-style displays, Chronoswiss continues to push the boundaries with this limited-edition timepiece.
The Delphis Firestarter, which debuted in 2023, features a world-first Titanium Core Nano Shell case in a vibrant fiery red—a color not just added as a coating but as a high-performance composite that fuses a grade 5 titanium core with a lightweight, resilient red shell. This innovative case is a true marvel, carved from a solid block and polished by hand to create a visually captivating, incredibly durable piece.
The Chronoswiss Delphis Firestarter dial is equally impressive. It has a hand-guilloché section, red enamel accents, and a fan-shaped, wavy guilloché pattern. The dial boasts jumping hours, a retrograde minutes display, and a small seconds counter, all powered by the contemporary automatic caliber C. 6004 developed by La Joux-Perret.
With its 42.6mm case size, the Firestarter is both a technical masterpiece and a statement piece, offering a bold new take on traditional watchmaking. Limited to just 50 pieces, it’s available for $41,800, making it an exclusive addition to any collection. For those who appreciate craftsmanship, innovation, and eye-catching design, the Chronoswiss Delphis Firestarter is a must-have.
