Watches and Wonders 2026 Preview: Chronoswiss unveils two new jumping hours: Neo Digiteur Chronos and the Delphis Art Deco

The Neo Digiteur Chronos and Delphis Art Deco are limited editions of 33 and 150 pieces, respectively.
Strengthening its Neo Digiteur line, a modern interpretation of the Digiteur that was launched in 2005, Chronoswiss has launched the Neo Digiteur Chronos and the Delphis Art Deco, reflecting mythological narrative and Art Deco aesthetics, respectively. 

Neo Digiteur Chronos


This timepiece takes the idea of jump hour to the next level. Hand crafted in solid-gold in the brand’s manufacture in Lucerne, the watch features an artistic case—it is engraved with the image of Chronos, the ancient god of time. The jumping hour mechanism and windows are the same as it was on the Neo Digiteur Sand model (Ref. CH-1373.2-ROSI), released last year. 


There’s a small window for jumping hour at 12 o’clock, minutes on the centre, and seconds at the 6 o’clock position—the minutes and seconds window are designed and shaped in such a way that they form the shape of the hourglass on the case. 


Limited to 33, the rectangular-shaped watch measures 48mm x 30mm and boasts a hand-wound Chronoswiss Caliber C.85757 which provides a power reserve of about 48 hours. A black nuckbuck strap completes the watch. 

Delphis Art Deco


It is more on the modern side, crafted in white gold; its 42 mm case features an onion-shaped crown. On the silver-textured dial, the jumping hour window is located at 12 o’clock, the minutes are displayed via retrograde arc on the upper half of the flange. The seconds can be seen on the sky-blue textured sundial, located at 6 o’clock. 


Limited to 150 pieces, the watch is powered by an automatic Chronoswiss manufacture Calibre C.6004 with a power reserve of about 55 hours. The watch is offered with a black nuckbuck strap. 

Prices: Neo Digiteur Chronos is priced at Rs. 69,15, 000 (approx.) and Delphis Art Deco is priced at Rs. 16,81,000 (approx.)
