Chronoswiss Sirius Artist Owner Review : Precious, resplendent and majestic

Here is a little-known watch, and for good reason, only 10 pieces were made in this configuration! My Chronoswiss Sirius Artist in solid gold and two-tone blue and white configuration is the result of several years of research, before buying it to celebrate a personal family event. This watch takes up the codes of baroque romanticism on which Chronoswiss relied in the late 20th century, and I am completely under its spell! Of course its singular aesthetic will not please everyone, but it is precisely for this reason that it speaks to me. An uninhibited beauty in its expression of romanticism (almost rococo of the 18th century), we find on the dial grand feu enamel in two colors, to honor ancestral decoration traditions. The guilloché on the solid silver dial is done beforehand on a manual machine over a hundred years old, and adds a masterful extra soul to this memorable piece. I find that the shape of the case fits my wrist perfectly, and the attention to detail is evident on every element of the watch. One astonishing detail always strikes me on the dial of this piece, it is the Breguet wire between the two enamel colors, so difficult and risky to execute, and which reflects the light with always mysterious angles. On these special artistic editions, Maïk Panziera has also worked on the partially skeletonized movement parts to add a guilloche that recalls the work on the dial. A delight! Chronoswiss offers models that are not made for all tastes, but represent for me a unique watchmaking experience. I am fulfilled by my watch that is so different and that speaks to my own sensibilities. After all, you buy a dream piece for yourself, and the emotion it gives me is the only thing that matters to me. Note that the miniatures on the dial by André Martinez, and the movement decorations by Kari Voutilainen and Marion Müller are not common on this model and were made later with Chronoswiss to make it a unique piece.
