ollowing the success of the first Chronofixe vs. Astérix collaboration, the French watch brand founded in 1857 is proud to announce its latest creation, once again in partnership with Astérix and Seconde/Seconde/.

This special edition commemorates the 55th anniversary of Astérix in Switzerland while playfully blending the heritage of Swiss watchmaking with the beloved Gaulish hero.

Conceived by Romaric André, founder of the creative label Seconde/Seconde/, the watch reinterprets the aesthetics of the famous Swiss safes by Ferner. The bidirectional bezel cleverly mimics a safe’s combination wheel, while the dial depicts Astérix in a whimsical pose: his right ear pressed against the dial, left hand turning the bezel — as if he were attempting to crack the code.

The crown, styled like a safe handle, reinforces the distinctive character of the piece. On the caseback, the engraving reads: “As airtight as a Swiss vault” — a playful nod to Swiss banking secrecy, while guaranteeing water resistance.

Powered by a dependable Swiss movement, this watch embodies the perfect fusion of horological precision and the charm of comic-book storytelling. A limited edition, it continues Chronofixe’s tradition of blending humor with fine watchmaking.
