The story behind this Emile Chouriet Challenger Cliff
The Geneva-based watchmaker Emile Chouriet cultivates an approach to watchmaking that is closely linked to its natural surroundings. The Challenger Cliff 08.1172.G.6.6.N8.8 model draws its inspiration from the Swiss Alpine landscapes. When creating it, the designers sought to capture the texture of rocky cliffs. This vision is reflected in its sharp, architectural lines and a textured dial. The watch meets the need for a sporty timepiece, suitable for everyday wear whilst retaining a visual identity rooted in the Swiss landscape.
Case, movement and strap of this Challenger Cliff
The stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter, ensuring carefully considered proportions. Its design incorporates asymmetrical side shoulders that protect the crown, evoking the solidity of rock. The blue dial features an embossed pattern of deep vertical striations. This interplay of textures creates subtle shading effects depending on the light. The hours are indicated by applied hour markers and Roman numerals coated with luminescent material. The sapphire crystal case back offers a view of the EC9316 automatic calibre. This mechanical movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of 38 hours. Its architecture is supported by 25 jewels and features an oscillating weight adorned with Côtes de Genève. The hybrid strap combines an FKM rubber base with blue calfskin in an alligator-pattern design. The watch fastens with a folding clasp and is water-resistant to 50 metres.
