Kross Studio Unveils an Exclusive Timepiece for Chronopassion Paris

Kross Studio, a pioneer in contemporary haute horlogerie, reveals a unique creation exclusively designed for Chronopassion Paris. Adorned with a turquoise stone dial and a finely engraved silver bezel, the KS 06 Chronopassion represents an unprecedented interpretation of the floating central tourbillon watch unveiled in 2024 by the Swiss fine horology manufacture. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases the brand's unrivaled expertise and the bold creativity that sets it apart.

Innovation and Tradition

At the heart of this unique KS 06 lies Kross Studio's signature floating central tourbillon, visible under a sapphire glass dome. This dome, treated with anti-reflective and anti-static coatings, highlights the intricate movement mechanism, delivering a spectacular visual experience from every angle.

The 42mm case, crafted from grade 5 titanium, stands out for its exceptional hand-finishing. The case body and lugs are satin-brushed and polished-beveled, as is the time-setting pusher. On the case back, the central crown for winding the movement features circular satin finishing, polished beveling, and stretch finishing along its perimeter. Additionally, the watch incorporates Kross Studio's patented interchangeable strap attachment system, ensuring versatility and wearer comfort.

The KS 7’006 Movement: A Technical Marvel

At the core of this exclusive edition is the KS 7’006 floating central tourbillon movement, a manual-winding masterpiece composed of 220 meticulously designed, decorated, and assembled components by the artisans of Kross Studio. The watch’s primary functions – winding, energy storage, regulation, and time display – are all cleverly placed at the center. This unique conception allows the barrel to occupy nearly the entire surface of the movement, providing an impressive 120-hour power reserve while maintaining exceptional chronometric performance.

The tourbillon, its balance wheel, and the fixed seconds wheel are elevated above the movement and hands, towering over the barrel. This patented technical revolution offers a unique perspective on the watch's complex mechanisms.

Another innovation of the KS 7’006 movement is its peripheral hour display mechanism, achieved through a planetary gear system mounted on two ball bearings, thereby leaving the tourbillon unobstructed. The hands of the KS 06 watch are rhodium-plated and filled with white Superluminova®.

The Pinnacle of Bespoke Horology

The KS 06 Chronopassion embodies a commitment to bespoke. It is an expression of expert craftsmanship dedicated to personalization and exclusivity. From the selection of the turquoise stone to the meticulous engraving of the silver bezel, every step of the creative process reflects remarkable precision and finesse. This bespoke project highlights Kross Studio's ability to transcend the standards of traditional watchmaking, delivering a mechanical work of art designed to captivate both the eye and the mind. The new KS 06 Chronopassion is a unique piece, available exclusively at Chronopassion Paris.
