Quick TakeBeyond the cold specs lies a watch bursting with handcrafted soul. That deep blue dial isn't just colored metal; it's solid sterling silver, meticulously worked by hand with age-old guilloché techniques, then brought to life with layers of fiery enamel. Each dial is a unique fingerprint of the artisan's skill. Framing this artistry is a ring of 72 brilliant diamonds, catching light and adding serious sparkle without being ostentatious. Inside, the reliable Caliber C. 281 automatic movement keeps time with Swiss precision, its decorated rotor visible through the back – a little mechanical secret shared only with the wearer. The Feuille hands, rhodium-plated and curved just so, sweep across the mesmerizing blue canvas. Strapped to the wrist with supple Louisiana alligator leather, this Artist isn't just telling time; it's telling a story of meticulous craft, vibrant color, and understated luxury, perfect for someone who appreciates the difference between manufactured and master-crafted. It’s a conversation starter that whispers, rather than shouts, its quality.

DescriptionManufacturing specifications for the Chronoswiss Artist reference CH-2893.1-DE1-BL outline a case constructed from stainless steel, comprising 26 individual parts. The principal case diameter measures 40 mm, complemented by a height profile of 8.80 mm. Lug-to-lug band width integration is standardized at 20 mm. Surface treatment involves a combination of finishes, incorporating both polished and satin-finished sections across the case structure. A key feature is the polished screw-down bezel, distinguished by side knurling and a full thread; this component is meticulously set with 72 diamonds, collectively weighing 1.09 carats, specified with TW color and VVSI clarity grades. The case integrity is maintained by a screw-down case back, featuring a satin finish and an integrated sapphire crystal for movement visibility. Water resistance is rated at 3 bar, equivalent to a depth of 30 meters, suitable for incidental contact with water but not submersion.

Powering the timepiece is the Chronoswiss Caliber C. 281, an automatic self-winding mechanical movement. Operational frequency is set at 4 Hz, translating to 28,800 alternations per hour (A/h), providing a smooth sweep for the seconds hand. The movement sustains a power reserve of approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Internal architecture incorporates 21 jewels to minimize friction at critical points. Movement finishing includes polished surfaces on the pallet lever, escape wheel, and screws, alongside perlage decoration applied to the bridges and plates. Visible through the exhibition case back, the rotor is skeletonized for reduced mass and aesthetic appeal, rhodium-plated for durability and visual effect, and adorned with traditional Côtes de Genève striping, rotating on a ball bearing system for winding efficiency.
