Quick TakeForget subtle sophistication; the Chronoswiss Open Gear Flying Tourbillon Psycho is a high-octane blast of mechanical rebellion wrapped in electric hues. This isn't just a watch; it's wearable kinetic art that thumbs its nose at convention. That crazy purple CVD case houses a dial doing a psychedelic dance between green and turquoise, thanks to masterful hand-guilloché work. Then BAM! An orange hour ring pops against the cool tones, drawing your eye towards the intricate, funnel-like display. But the real star is that mesmerizing flying tourbillon at six o'clock, spinning freely like the mad genius heart of this creation. It’s all powered by the C.303 calibre, a hand-wound engine laid bare with semi-skeletonized bridges and cool blue CVD accents. Even the strap joins the party – electric blue Hornback alligator with green stitching and a flash of orange alcantara underneath. It's a 15-piece limited run of pure, unadulterated horological fun, a statement piece for those who appreciate precision engineering served with a side of delightful insanity.

DescriptionThe technical execution of Reference CH-3128-COL commences with its substantial case architecture. Constructed from stainless steel, the case undergoes a physical vapor deposition process resulting in a distinct purple CVD coating. This solid, 17-piece assembly measures 44 mm in diameter and 13.1 mm in height, ensuring a significant wrist presence. Finishing incorporates both satin-brushed surfaces and a contrasting polished bezel, which features partial knurling for tactile and visual differentiation. Protecting the intricate dial is a curved sapphire crystal, benefiting from double anti-reflective coating to maximize legibility under various lighting conditions. The screw-down case back, also equipped with a sapphire crystal for movement observation, features a satin finish that complements the main case body. Water resistance is rated up to 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters, facilitated by the screw-down design and an onion-style crown. Lug width is specified at 22 mm, and the strap holders are securely attached using the patented Chronoswiss Autobloc system, ensuring strap integrity. This meticulous case construction provides a robust housing for the complex mechanics within, balancing aesthetic boldness with functional resilience suitable for daily wear while safeguarding the delicate inner workings against environmental ingress up to the specified pressure rating. The combination of advanced coating technology, multi-part construction, and carefully chosen finishes underscores the detailed engineering approach.

Powering this limited edition timepiece is the Chronoswiss manufacture calibre C.303, a manually wound movement distinguished by its flying tourbillon and semi-skeletonized design. The movement has a diameter of 32.8 mm and integrates 23 jewels to minimize friction at critical points. Operational frequency is set at 4 Hz, equating to 28,800 vibrations per hour (A/h), contributing to its timekeeping precision. An Incabloc shock protection system is incorporated to enhance the movement's durability against physical impacts. When fully wound, the calibre provides an approximate power reserve of 60 hours. Aesthetically, the C.303 movement showcases significant finishing details, including a blue CVD coating applied to specific components. The main plate is decorated with Côtes de Genève striping, a traditional high-horology finish. Skeletonization is applied to the bridges, which feature a circular satin finish, and also to the spring barrel, offering visual access to the mainspring. Further refinements include a galvanic anthracite balance wheel and meticulously polished screws, enhancing the visual depth and mechanical appeal visible through the exhibition case back. The dial itself is an elaborate, 42-part construction arranged on multiple levels. Its foundation layer exhibits Côtes de Genève decoration. Above this sits the middle level, which is hand-guilloched and treated to achieve a color-changing effect reminiscent of Paraiba tourmaline, shifting between light green and turquoise hues. The uppermost level features screwed-on, skeletonized train wheel bridges and incorporates a distinctive funnel-like structure for the off-center hour display positioned at 12:00. Central minutes are indicated traditionally, while the flying tourbillon complication prominently rotates at the 6:00 position. Time indication is facilitated by bar or cylinder-shaped indexes treated with Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility.
