Watch the Hours Travel.
The Wandering Hours complication comes alive in motion. Nothing prepares you for seeing it move for the first time.
A Complication Born from Astronomy, Not Convention.
The S1's Wandering Hours display is not a decorative flourish. It is a mechanical reinterpretation of orbital motion — the hours travel across the upper half of the dial in a smooth, sweeping arc, echoing the Moon's path around the Earth.
The result is a reading experience that feels less like checking the time and more like observing a celestial event on your wrist. At the centre, a seconds subdial beats steadily — the heartbeat beneath the spectacle.
- ✓Hours travel across the upper arc — each precisely indicating the correct minute
- ✓Central seconds subdial provides constant, live rhythm to the display
- ✓Moon-orbit concept encoded into every transition of every hour
- ✓No traditional hands. A living, evolving, celestial composition.
Designed by an Award-Winning Industrial Designer. Not a Committee.
Every DWISS watch begins with one person: Rafael Simões Miranda — an industrial designer who has created hundreds of timepieces for more than 20 international brands since 2006. Named Designer of the Year in 2025. The S1 is his most ambitious work.
The cushion-shaped case is sculpted from 316L stainless steel with alternating brushed and polished surfaces. Every transition between finishes is intentional. Every angle a consequence of the design brief, not convention.
- ✓New cushion-shaped case — an entirely new DWISS silhouette
- ✓Contrasting brushed and polished 316L stainless steel
- ✓DWISS monogram engraved on the crown — a detail you discover
- ✓FKM rubber strap with deployant clasp. Built for daily wear.
Once It's Gone, It's Gone. That Is Not Marketing. That Is Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wandering Hours is a horological complication where the hour indication travels across the dial in an arc rather than rotating on a fixed axis. The DWISS S1 draws its inspiration from the Moon's orbit around the Earth — the hours sweep across the upper half of the dial, pointing to a minute scale to indicate the current time. It is one of the rarest complications in watchmaking, typically found in pieces costing well above CHF 10,000.
The S1 uses a modified La Joux-Perret G100 Soigné — a Swiss Made automatic calibre with 24 jewels, 4 Hz (28,800 vph) frequency, and 68 hours of power reserve. La Joux-Perret is one of Switzerland's most respected movement manufacturers. The movement is visible through the see-through sapphire caseback.
Every DWISS model since 2011 has been produced in a fixed, limited quantity and has never been re-issued. This is not a marketing phrase — it is a 15-year brand policy. When the S1 editions sell out, they will not be restocked, re-released, or produced again in any form. Every piece is individually numbered and signed.
Wandering Hours complications from established Swiss houses typically start at CHF 5,000 and can exceed CHF 50,000. The DWISS S1 delivers this rare complication with a certified Swiss Made La Joux-Perret movement, sapphire crystal, see-through caseback, and a cushion case finished to a standard that belies its price point. It is the most accessible entry into wandering hours watchmaking available today.
The DWISS S1 makes its world debut at Time to Watches in Geneva — April 14–19, 2026 — held at Villa Sarasin alongside Watches & Wonders. DWISS is offering free tickets to subscribers: claim yours here (English) or ici en français.
