If Santa were a watch enthusiast, he’d definitely love the red hues on the Chronoswiss Delphis Firestarter. It looks like something he’d wear with his red suit while delivering Christmas presents.

The new Chronoswiss watch comes with a beautiful and conspicuous red dial, highlighted by a guilloché pattern engraved on 18k white gold. Unlike other watches in the market, this model features a unique casing, manufactured from titanium. It has a drum-like shape, just like other Chronoswiss watches.

Thanks to the high-quality composite material, the casing complements other elements with its red accents. While the color might be easily mistaken for a coating, it is a blend of two different materials. Instead of using other materials while creating the casing, Chronoswiss opted for a well-polished red composite shell with a shiny appearance. All this was achieved through an industrial bonding process.

In terms of performance, the upper section of the dial has a semi-circular subdial for tracking time in minutes. At the heart of the watch, there’s a caliber C. 6004, which delivers a 55-hour power reserve.

Chronoswiss has always been quite popular for its remarkable and stylish timepieces. In 2023, the brand captured everyone’s attention with the Delphis collection, which created a smooth balance between elegance and horology. Chronographs with strong colors can leave a long-lasting impression—the Chronoswiss Delphis Firestarter is the latest addition to the Delphis collection and has the same attributes.

Designed to match other elements featured on the watch, the rubber strap is characterized by a red hue that blends with other components.

As a limited edition timepiece, only 50 pieces have been rolled out into the market, and each costs $43,578.

This marks the second joint project between the auction giant -- which held its first watch sale back in 1980 -- and the creative watch group following last year's impressive "Rough Diamonds" event, where all 24 unique pieces sold out within an hour.

Timothee Chalamet bust

There are few names that are trending upward in Hollywood more than Timothee Chalamet. He is one of the most lauded actors in big blockbusters like Dune and its sequel, Interstellar, and Wonka, and he is also taking the world by storm with incredible performances in more reward-focused films like Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. Recently, he made splashes this award season for his true story biopic of Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown. While we loved his nominations, awards, and speeches, we would be lying if we didn't get distracted by his stellar red carpet looks. Not only are we excited about his stellar look at the Academy Awards nomination dinner from GapStudio, but now you can recreate it with a limited edition recreation from on GAP.

While most men love to adopt the all-black look for evening dinner events, Chalamet elected to go with a more dressed-down look, more closely resembling something fitting for his Bob Dylan role.
