Some collaborations are born from opportunity. Others emerge from a shared vision.
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Passion Horlogère, one of France’s leading watch publications, Chronofixe partnered with its founder to create a limited-edition watch designed by and for enthusiasts.
This special project marks a significant milestone for Passion Horlogère. After fifteen years dedicated to sharing stories, discoveries, and insights from the world of watchmaking, the publication now presents its own commemorative watch in collaboration with Chronofixe.
A Shared Passion for Watchmaking
Since its creation, Passion Horlogère has built a reputation for making watchmaking accessible while remaining true to the values that attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Those values naturally align with the philosophy of Chronofixe. Founded in 1857, the French watchmaker draws inspiration from instruments designed for purpose, precision, and everyday use. The collaboration was therefore a natural meeting point between two names united by the same appreciation for authentic watchmaking.
More than a product launch, this edition celebrates a community that has grown over fifteen years through conversations, discoveries, and a shared enthusiasm for mechanical watches.
A Limited Edition Diver
The watch is based on the Chronofixe Diver, one of the brand’s most appreciated models, and is limited to just 180 individually numbered pieces.
The number was carefully chosen: 15 years multiplied by 12 months, symbolizing the journey of Passion Horlogère since its launch in 2011.
The watch retains the core specifications that define the Diver collection, including a compact 37 mm stainless steel case, a reliable Seiko TMI NH35 automatic movement, 200 meters of water resistance, and a sapphire crystal.
Designed to be worn daily, it combines practical performance with the exclusivity of a true collector's edition.
Exclusive Details with Purpose
Every detail of this collaboration was designed to reflect the identity of Passion Horlogère while preserving the clean and balanced aesthetic of the Chronofixe Diver.
The dial features a deep blue gradient inspired by the marine world, while subtle red accents pay tribute to the French roots shared by both partners.
The Passion Horlogère logo is engraved on the crown, and the caseback is marked with the years “2011–2026” alongside the inscription “15 Years.” Each watch is individually numbered from PH001 to PH180, emphasizing the exclusivity of the series.
The watch is delivered with two straps: a light leather strap engraved specifically for this edition and a stainless-steel Milanese bracelet, allowing owners to adapt the watch to different occasions and styles.
A Tribute to a Community
Beyond its technical specifications and exclusive details, the Chronofixe x Passion Horlogère edition is first and foremost a celebration.
It pays tribute to fifteen years of dedication to watchmaking, to a passionate community of collectors and enthusiasts, and to the countless conversations that continue to keep this passion alive.
This limited edition represents the meeting of two worlds: a respected watch publication and a French watchmaker, brought together by a common desire to share the culture, history, and enjoyment of mechanical watches.
Limited to 180 pieces worldwide, the Chronofixe x Passion Horlogère stands as a lasting reminder of fifteen years of passion and the community that made them possible.
