Chronoswiss CH1422R Delphis Jump Hour Retrograde Minutes SS / 18K YG Silver Dial

The Chronoswiss Delphis CH1422R is a masterclass in inventive horology, featuring a patented jumping hour window at 12 o’clock, a retrograde minutes arc, and a small seconds subdial—an ingenious triad of display methods that have captivated collectors since its introduction in the late 1990s. Housed in a refined two-tone case combining stainless steel with 18k rose or yellow gold coin-edge bezels, the 38 mm diameter and 11 mm thickness offer a balanced yet substantial presence on the wrist. Powered by the in‑house Caliber C.124 automatic movement, this piece delivers both technical elegance and visual intrigue, with a guilloché silver dial and blued feuille hands that echo the brand’s commitment to artisanal finishing. The exhibition case back reveals the rotor and movement decoration, underscoring Chronoswiss’s dedication to craftsmanship. Though not a limited edition, the Delphis remains rare in the market, particularly in bi‑metal configurations, making it a compelling acquisition for discerning collectors. Its fusion of digital, retrograde, and analog displays encapsulates the brand’s innovative spirit and mechanical sophistication. Like New with Chronoswiss box and undated papers.
