SYNCHRONAUT® Ref: CG SYNC-1863 39.5/3T
GMT, DATE, DAY/NIGHT Indication
The “GMT Synchronaut® 1863” Collection follows the purest tradition of horological complications. The term “SYNCHRONAUT,” a poetic fusion of “synchronization” and “astronaut,” embodies the art of navigating through varied spaces and epochs. It evokes the journey of a luxury watch enthusiast, traversing life’s adventures, symbolizing an assumed status, accomplishment, and the ability to transcend the ordinary.
Designed for international travelers, this watch simultaneously displays two different time zones, along with a day/night indicator for the local time subtly nestled in an aperture. It also features a date sub-dial inspired by an antique pocket watch signed “Girardier L’ainé,” evoking a rich and refined horological heritage.
This exceptional timepiece draws inspiration from the legacy of Henry Royce, co-founder of Rolls Royce, and celebrates the brand’s 120th anniversary in partnership with the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts’ Club (RREC). The titanium case, combined with a sapphire crystal case back, allows for an appreciation of the internal movement.
Discover the three models from the new CG SYNC-1863 GMT collection, each expressing a unique and refined aura. The dial, a true masterpiece of watchmaking, is enhanced by an exclusive ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) treatment, ensuring unmatched depth and exceptional durability. Each dial is also adorned with a specific guilloché pattern, crafted semi-automatically, adding complex motifs that elevate its beauty. The «Midnight Blue» version reveals the intensity of a deep and mysterious blue, while the «Brown» version embodies warmth and timeless elegance. Finally, the «Grey» version stands out for its subtle modernity and sophisticated brilliance. Each watch is complemented by a calfskin leather strap matching the dial’s hue, offering perfect harmony and an added touch of sophistication.
These models are powered by our exclusive CG SYNC-1863 caliber, a signature of Charles Girardier’s horological excellence.

OUR KNOW-HOW
This exceptional watch features a handmade dial adorned with chevrons in the style of “Ancienne Tapisserie Guillochée,” an ancestral technique that involves engraving raised patterns using a guilloché machine. This meticulous process, performed on a 60-year-old machine, weaves a subtle connection between the past and the present, honoring horological heritage while embracing contemporary innovation. Each delicate engraving tells a story, merging centuries-old tradition with modern elegance to create a truly remarkable piece.
Grey Shade: The dial features a sumptuous “Grey” hue, a silvery grey tone that stands out with its subtle modernity and sophisticated brilliance. This colour is achieved through an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process of nanometric thickness, applied to a brass plate. This cutting-edge technique ensures a regular and durable colouration, enhancing the dial’s brilliance and its subtle finishing details, while offering unmatched robustness and shine.
Circular Satin Finish: A circular satin effect, hand-crafted, adorns the circle that houses the 24-hour scale for the GMT hand and the indexes. This satin finish adds an extra visual dimension, providing unparalleled harmony and elegance.
