Geneva, June 14th, 2024: An unobstructed view of the wonders of mechanical watchmaking in a resilient package. Emile Chouriet’s edgy all-terrain Challenger Cliff collection welcomes a new reference endowed with a skeleton movement. True to Emile Chouriet’s “Be Free, Be Easy” philosophy, the Challenger Cliff Skeleton combines a striking and captivating aesthetic with the functionality that is a pillar of the collection.

Inspired by the rugged terrain of the Swiss Alps and the kind of endurance required to traverse them, the Challenger Cliff stands out with its singular, performance-centric design. A balancing act between sporty ruggedness and effortless style, the newest reference adds a layer of complexity with an open dial revealing the mechanical, automatic movement that powers this exceedingly versatile timekeeper.

The Challenger Cliff Skeleton is an invitation for watch enthusiasts to peer into the world of micro-mechanical artistry. It offers an unparalleled visual experience that deftly combines art, technology, and traditional expertise that have been passed down through generations of skilled watchmakers and artisans.

Here, the skeleton movement not only as a functional element, but also a canvas for Emile Chouriet’s artistic expression to convey the essence of watchmaking in its purest form.

Crafted in stainless steel, the 41mm case and integrated three-link steel bracelet serve as a tough and durable frame. Water-resistant to 50 meters, the Challenger Cliff Skeleton can certainly withstand even the wildest activities. And while the emphasis is on the openworked movement, legibility remains opti­mal, with a gray skeletonized chapter ring set with hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova and hands to match.

Crafting a skeleton movement requires a high level of technical skill. Visible through both the front as well as the sapphire display back, the EC9307 automatic skeleton movement provides a power reserve of minimum 38 hours. Its intricately cut-out bridges and main plate have been designed and developed specifically for the Challenger Cliff, ensuring structural integrity while removing as much mass as possible for a unique visual impact — a testament to the brand’s dedication to precision and excellence.

The Challenger Cliff Skeleton is Emile Chouriet’s tribute to lovers of watchmaking, as a fine watch isn’t only about telling the time, but also recounting a story of precision, art and timeless intrigue.
