Swiss watchmaker Wyler presented a new chronograph collection at this year's Basel fair and marked a clear move to appeal to women.
The Code-S collection sees the majority of watches take on a feminine form with mother-of-pearl dials, jewellery versions and colours which are more likely to appeal to women, such as white.
The collection is distinguished by the Code-S tonneau case, only this time it is smaller and its lines rounded. The sandwich construction used in the Code-R series is applied to the line with two metal plates fixed to a middle plate and secured with four polished titanium screws.
Wyler's patented crown protector is applied: the protector has to be opened each side to manipulate the crown. Concave chronograph push buttons were inspired by the foot pedals of a car. The watch is powered by an automatic chronograph movement with 42-hour power reserve.
The chronograph counters with appliqu? surround maintain Wyler's identity, as do the oversized numeral 12, and an inner oval ring.
There are 17 models in the new collection, with variations including red gold and white colour coding for women, and red gold and black pairings for men.
