Quick TakeStep into a world where classical watchmaking gets a serious shot of architectural cool with the Chronoswiss Flying Regulator Manufacture. Forget flat, boring dials; this piece brings the drama with its ingenious three-dimensional layout. The main minute track takes center stage, while the hour and second sub-dials literally float above a mesmerizing guilloche base, secured by tiny, visible plinths like miniature bridges. It's horological engineering you can see! Crafted in warm 18k red gold, the 40mm case feels substantial yet refined, perfectly proportioned for showcasing that complex dial through the domed sapphire crystal. Inside, the C.122 manufacture movement isn't just a timekeeper; it's a beautifully finished engine room, complete with Geneva stripes and a skeletonized gold rotor visible through the back. Even the thermally blued hands, curved just so, add to the sense of meticulous craft. It’s a regulator, yes, but reimagined with a bold, sculptural presence that respects tradition while carving its own path.

DescriptionManufacturing specifications for the timepiece designated CH-1241.3R-SISI incorporate a case constructed from 18-karat red gold, comprising 28 individual components. The case architecture features a diameter of 40 millimeters and a height measurement of 11.80 millimeters. Attachment points accommodate a strap width of 20 millimeters. Case finishing involves a combination of polished surfaces and areas with a vertical satin finish, complemented by an onion-style crown. Securing the assembly is a screw-down case back exhibiting a satin finish and incorporating a flat sapphire crystal for exhibition purposes. The bezel is a polished, screw-down type featuring a full thread and distinctive side knurling, paired with a curved sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating. Water resistance is rated at 3 bar, equivalent to approximately 30 meters, suitable for incidental contact with water but not for swimming or diving.

Internal mechanics are governed by the Manufacture Caliber C.122, an automatic movement operating at a frequency of 3 Hz, which translates to 21,600 alternations per hour (A/h). This movement provides a power reserve of approximately 45 hours when fully wound and incorporates 30 jewels to minimize friction. The movement's aesthetic finish includes a circular-grained main plate, bridges adorned with Geneva Stripes and circular-grained offsets, gold-plated engravings and jewel settings, along with a polished lever, escape wheel, and screws. Power generation is facilitated by a gold-plated rotor, distinctively skeletonised and engraved, decorated with Geneva Stripes, and mounted on a ball bearing for efficient winding. The dial presentation is characterized by an elaborate two-level construction. The base level features a galvanised guilloche pattern, while the upper level, presenting a satin finish, is elevated on screwed plinths. Time indication employs an off-centre hours display positioned at 12:00, a central minutes display, and a small seconds sub-dial located at 6:00. Hands are thermally blued, polished, and curved "Poire Stuart" style, with the minute hand meticulously bent by hand.
