LIMITED EDITION OF 349 INTRODUCING THE LIMITED EDITION
Paloma Beach Chronograph

They say some things get better with age, and in the case of Paloma Beach, it’s hard to disagree. Named after Paloma Picasso and owned by the same family since 1948, this lovely little Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat refuge has accomplished something truly special by preserving a classy yet laid-back family feel year after year. Since the inception of our brand, we have had the privilege of creating two time-only watches in collaboration with Paloma Beach.

Now, we are thrilled to introduce our third creation: a stunning chronograph with a captivating panda configuration in white, dark blue, and delicate touches of Azur Blue, perfectly mirroring the enchanting hues of Paloma's waters. This watch also features a dark blue rubber strap, a first for any chronograph from Corniche.

It is a testament to the timeless charm of Paloma Beach and a tribute to the
countless cherished moments we’ve enjoyed there during the years.

HYBRID CALIBER

Inspired by the early days of racing, the new Paloma Beach Chronograph is powered by an impressive engine of its own. In fact, the renowned VK64 Meca Quartz from Seiko is a so-called “hybrid movement” combining quartz technology with mechanical movements to form an engine that balances the advantages and disadvantages of each. We’d have it no other way.

“The central chronograph hands tick five times per second, just like movements of old. We’d have it no other way.”

Whilst the timekeeping mechanism is essentially quartz, you’ll notice the “meca” part of the equation come into play every time you reset the chronograph. With components taken directly from Seiko's own in-house mechanical chronographs, the chronograph hands are disengaged from the quartz motor and are snapped back to zero, meaning you don't get that sweep back to zero that is representative for standard quartz chronos. Rather, you get a timepiece that combines the accuracy of quartz with the distinct look and feel of a mechanical chronograph. The central chronograph hands tick five times per second, just like movements of old.
