A leap in time in 3D Sirius Flying Regulator Jumping Hour

sirius-regulator_flying-regulator-jumping-hour2

An exciting play on the Regulator is the variant with the jumping hour. The hours are not displayed as with the “classic” Regulator by sub-dials, but are presented digitally in a window, making it look like a date at first sight.

Chronoswiss dedicated a limited Regulator model to this particularly clever complication some years ago on the occasion of the brand’s 30th anniversary. And the Regulator Jumping Hour has secured itself a permanent position in the classic collection ever since. In 2016 Chronoswiss is going a step further for this model, too, and launching a 3D version: the Flying Regulator Jumping Hour is here!

Above the watch dials with their characteristic guilloche pattern, the sub-dials rise for the minute hand and the seconds hand, artistically designed on a plinth. The arched glass offers a particularly good experience of this three-dimensionality. As with its close relative, the Flying Regulator, the watch dials of the Flying Regulator Jumping Hour are also dominated by the elaborate signature guilloche. Depending on the angle, the sophisticated geometrical pattern, which reveals its true beauty when exposed to light, appears chequered or as a complex basketwork.

The Chronoswiss Signature Guilloche is an in-house design developed in the studios of House of Chronoswiss in Lucerne. That is why the “Atelier Lucerne” inscription adorns the watch dials.

This Regulator model also comes with a choice of several colours and material variations, from the classic and timeless combination in a red gold or stainless steel case and a silver dial to dials in enigmatic black, which are lent a dynamic touch by signal red hands, through to extravagant, sporty galvanic tones such as blue or orange. Straps with coloured interior leather specially made for the Flying collection play skilfully on the colour tones.
