The Independence Skeleton Chrono is powered by the NORQAIN 8K Manufacture Calibre, an exclusive high-performance skeletonised flyback chronograph movement inspired by the world’s highest mountains. This model is the first chronograph in the Independence collection.
It won’t be limited, other than by production. Initially, only 300 8K Calibres have been commissioned for the Independence Skeleton Chrono Steel, with a second batch expected in time for Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025.
