This chronograph Big Bridge was the largest square chronograph at the international fair in Basle 1998. From the first moment this unique chronograph was a big success for all watch lovers. But it takes nearly 2 years to bring this complicated case to the shops. Absolutely unique was the strap size with 30 mm between the lugs to only 18 mm at the deployment buckle. The proportion of the watchcase and the strap are still absolutely perfect. This chronograph is a real eye catcher.

2004 the chronograph Big Bridge gets a new face. This new design looks perfect at the square dial and opens the face of this watch with much more free space on the dial. Since a short time the big crown of the Big Bridge is engraved with the original old Egypt hieroglyphs.

Watch of the year 2006, less often is more! During the last year a lot of watch companies have developed a lot of complicated watches. There was a big competition between the big manufacturers to create watches and chronographs with Tourbillons and a lot of additional complications. You know that SOTHIS is different compared with the other brands, so we are going to enter the watch world with a new chronograph. There is no complication like a Tourbillon, minute repeater, or other high end complications. Our new chronograph named “HORUS” comes with only one hand for the time indication. During 12 hours our double tip hand with the stylized sun and the star move during 12 hours from 6 to 6.

The bicompax chronograph Janus from 2004 was on of the first SOTHIS chronograph with luminous hands and 10 large luminous hour markers. Our intention was, to create a very clean chronograph with the focus at the chronograph indication itself. So we enlarge the sub dial as big as possible. To get the outlook of a bicompax styling we place the permanent second small in the background. For the strong sub dial hands we choose the form of the tip of a lance with a length of 5 mm.

Based on the clear design line from 2004 we add this neatly arranged chronograph to our line of chronographs “Spirit of Moon”. This is the first Spirit of Moon with luminous hands and 10 luminous hour markers.

This very elegant chronograph is created on the basic chronograph Spirit of Moon. But we designed a very lavish dial for the chronograph “Prestige”, the roman numbers and the minute marker are single appliqués, each of these parts needs a very small drilling. All appliqués have thin feeds for this drillings and must be set by hand. After setting all appliqués the feeds of each part is secured by riveting from the backside. In the end this dial carries 73 single parts.

After the huge success of the first WORLD TIME CHRONOGRAPH these watches reach the limitation and we had to stop the production. Based on this success SOTHIS creates for the year 2007 the new „WORLD TIME CHRONO 2”. This new watch beats the old version from 1998 in the dimension, the design and the technique. The perfect finish of this watch and the excellent case production with corners but no sharp edges is a gem for each wrist of a gentleman and also a „Ladies Fashion Style“ object in combination with a lot of colored and stylish leather straps, always matching with the outfit.

SPECIALS: For a fixed charge of $500 you can choose a special printing like your hometown at the inside ring with the major towns of the world.
