Skeleton Model Honoring the Founder


The "C.R-F." in this model's name stands for founder Christian Rüfli-Flury. In 1883, he presented his wife with a self-made watch for her birthday. Praised for his watchmaking skills by his wife, he was inspired to establish his own workshop.

Over 130 years later, that workshop has evolved into the present-day EDOX company. This limited edition model pays tribute to its founder. What is remarkable about this watch is its skeletonized automatic chronograph movement. Automatic chronographs typically feature numerous gears, levers, and springs, making it challenging to apply etching to the mainplate and bridges.

However, this watch tackles that difficulty, based on the ETA 2894 S2L. The chronograph's start/stop mechanism and the automatic winding system can be admired through the case back, while the chronograph hands' movement is visible from the dial side. It is a fitting tribute to a founder who was a master watchmaker.
