Grail Watch Revives the Chronoswiss Opus
Ойын-сауық
For the latest Grail Watch project, we delve into the history of Chronoswiss, a brand founded in 1983 by watchmaker turned entrepreneur Gerd-Rüdiger Lang, who refused to capitulate to the onslaught of quartz watch popularity that manifested after the 1970s. He was part of a group of luminaries who recognised the desperate need to preserve mechanical watchmaking, creating the world's first regulator-style wristwatch in 1988 and the first serially-produced self-winding skeletonized chronograph in 1995 called the Opus.
The Opus was groundbreaking during its time for it opened a window into the mechanics of a chronograph, allowing one to witness through the dial the interaction of cams and levers that enable the recording of elapsed time. This watch with such a tactile display would eventually recapture the public's imagination, contributing to the renaissance of an age-old craft that endures to this day. Wei and Jeremiah discuss the significance of the Opus in revitalizing mechanical watchmaking and take a look at Grail Watch 5, a recreation of a '90s icon that's fit for the modern day.
Grail Watch 5: Chronoswiss Opus Blue is a numbered edition of 30 pieces priced at CHF 13,300 each. Dropping on 13 February 2023, 10pm SGT | 9am EST | 3pm CET. Email shop@grailwatch.com to register your interest.

I love that you are not overly precious about wearing that watch when petting and handling your cute little dog
My first “Real” watch was a Tora Chronograph, and then a few years later my lovely Wife surprised me with a Chronoscope with the open dial to view the column wheel. The Pathos or their regular Split Second Chronograph are two I would love to own!
Fantastic watch 👍👍👍 Love Chronoswiss
Beautiful, but not a word on the movement... shame cause looks really nice...
