In the 1920s and 1930s, digital watches with jumping-hour displays offered a new, futuristic way of telling the time. Combining precision engineering with bold aesthetics, they became icons of style and progress. In 2005, the brand reinterpreted this heritage by unveiling the Chronoswiss Digiteur: an all-mechanical, rectangular, hands-free wristwatch that was unlike anything else on the market.
Today, the watchmaker has revived the spirit of this extraordinary timepiece with its Neo Digitur, which retains its bold 48 x 30mm rectangular shape, but with more assertive lines and a more pronounced profile. This no-hands regulator-type display shows the time through three precisely cut dial apertures: the jumping hour itself at 12 o’clock, digital minutes in the centre and running seconds in a 6 o’clock horizontal aperture. Together, they form a mechanical digital regulator.
The display is powered by new hand-wound Calibre Chronoswiss C.85757. Beating at 3 Hertz, the movement is equipped with an exclusive module developed entirely in-house. It manages the energy requirements of the jumping-hour system, while ensuring the smooth progression of the minutes and seconds discs.
The partially hand-guilloché and likewise in-house-produced bridges and wheels are visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement structure is a nod to the historical calibres of the FEF (Fabrique d’Ebauches Fleurier). The window in the caseback is more than just a decorative feature, serving as a visual bridge between erasand honouring heritage while embracing modernity.
Water-resistant to 50m, the Neo Digiteur is available in two distinct versions, each produced in a 99-piece limited edition. The Granit model features an anthracite dial with a vertical satin finish and minimalist black sans serif numerals; while the Sand version has a sandblasted 4N dial with a warm texture and elegant navy blue serif font.
