A bold new chapter for NORQAIN, the Independence Skeleton Chrono is the first chronograph in the brand’s adventurous Independence line — and it arrives with nothing to hide. Its 42mm stainless steel case houses the new NORQAIN Manufacture calibre (NK24/1), a COSC-certified automatic movement with flyback chronograph functionality, a column-wheel mechanism, and an impressive 62-hour power reserve.

The skeletonised black dial is a statement in both technical finesse and alpine inspiration. With angular bridges shaped to echo mountain peaks, the open-worked dial reveals the intricacies of the movement while keeping legibility front and centre. Gold-plated, diamond-cut hands and indices glow with Super-LumiNova, while the twin sub-dials — a 30-minute counter at 12 and running seconds at six — add balance and functionality.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
