Chapter I — The Escapement

Suspended In Zero Gravity

Flying 60-Second Tourbillon Carriage

Unlike conventional pinned tourbillons supported by an upper bridge, the Nocturne flying tourbillon is cantilevered entirely from below. This reveals an unhindered panoramic view into the celestial heart of the escapement.

“Watching the cage complete its one-minute orbit is like witnessing an eclipse in miniature.”

An obsession with seconds,
measured across centuries.

In an era overwhelmed by digital ephemera, mechanical horology remains one of the last sanctuaries of authentic human virtuosity. At Chronos Édition, every component—from the microscopic balance wheel teeth to the tourbillon bridge—is finished entirely by the steady hand of a master artisan.

We do not pursue industrial mass production. Annual allocations never exceed one hundred finished timepieces across all references, ensuring that each exemplar possesses a singular soul and immutable provenance.

“A watch does not merely convey the hour. It is a kinetic sculpture that anchors human consciousness within the silent sweep of the cosmos.”
