Bold colors are not something that you commonly see in the watch world but Chronoswiss with its radical Delphis Firestarter has certainly piqued our interest. It is a unique design that blends traditional craftsmanship within the confines of new-age technology. The design is what dominates your gaze and some of the materials used are also quite space-age. In fact, it is the first watch in the world to use a Titanium Core Nano Shell case. As you might this is a highly durable and light material plus it simply looks quite striking. This case is finished in this alluring hue while being carved out of a solid block. The red coating is not just for aesthetics as it is also a high-performance composite
Then as you peer closer you look at the guilloché dial while the red accents further take it up a notch. This watch has a 42.60mm case with a thickness of 14.50mm while the sides have a knurled effect with a healthy dose of sapphire too. Polished by hand, the case is built out of a solid block of composite. Other details include the fact that the case is water resistant to 100 meters. the red overdose is perfectly completed by a, you guessed it, a red strap! The other interesting bit is the digital jump hour being juxtaposed against a digital second readout.
The mix of digital and analog plus the design is something that makes this watch different from others. The watch also has a C.6004 Manufacture movement while having a 55-hour power reserve. Overall, we love the craftsmanship and the technical detailing along with the materials used while the large central hand is a unique touch. The use of bold colors also marks this watch out from others in this crowded market with intense competition. Limited to just 50 pieces, the Chronoswiss Delphis Firestarter is priced at $43,600. While this brand is no stranger to bold designs thanks to the previous Delphis collection, this one is easily one of the stand-out watches of the year and something that Santa Claus would love to wear!
