[WTS] Chronoswiss Régulateur Automatique CH1223, Full Kit with Like-New Bracelet and Strap, Excellent Condition
Aficionados, take note! Up for sale today is my iconic Chronoswiss Régulateur Automatique from 1994. This was the watch that put Chronoswiss on the map and made the regulator a sought-after complication in past 30 years. The watch is in excellent condition with a like-new bracelet (with all links included) and a well-worn leather strap. I am giving this beauty up because it simply does not get the wrist time it deserves. What can I say about this watch that you probably don’t already know? It has a lovely silvery, creamy dial that takes on different colors in different lighting conditions. The double-knurled case is unique, much more interesting than just a simply coin-edged bezel. The screwed lugs are distinctive to Chronoswiss, adding a utilitarian twist to the watch’s appearance. The C122 movement, based off a cache of Enicar 165 that Chronoswiss possessed, is handwound and unidirectional. The gold rotor is a treat for a watch at this price point, as is the movement’s finishing. While I don’t have service records for this piece, it runs strong on a timegrapher. Finally, the bracelet is also quite different from your typical jubilees, oysters, and beads of rice. The shimmer is impressive, allowing the watch dress up and down. I just put the bracelet on because the leather strap is a bit worn and dried out. It is in near-mint condition. The only imperfections I see are scratches on the lugs with strap changes. The hinge on the decorative box (also a beauty!) could use new adhesive, but everything is in amazing condition given that the watch was first bought in May 1994! The price is $2500. I haven’t seen another CH1223 with a full set and bracelet (in the US no less!) for under $2700 anywhere. When you factor in the condition, this is a steal! I accept Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle. Buyer can pay the additional fee for G&S, but I prefer F&F. I have reviews here and at eBay (jpwass00) if you have questions. I am also happy to hop on a call or WhatsApp. US AND CANADA ONLY – NO TRADES! Thank you for looking – I hope this watch finds a happy home in your collection!
