Minuit

At the stroke of midnight, when the darkness is at its thickest and the stars retreat, all things surrender to silence. This is the deepest moment of the day, yet also the most ancient beginning of a new one—the Midnight Hour.CHÉN STONE names this all-mechanical timepiece "Minuit" in French, as a tribute to the silent transition between heaven and earth, and the quiet power of time's eternal cycle. Upon the dial, a 24-hour scale unfolds gracefully, forming a closed loop of time where day and night flow in an endless rhythm. Meticulously hand-finished, polished, and set, every detail is infused with craftsmanship, creating an interplay of textures and light that presents a visual tension both profound and pure. The flat, shadow-like hands serve as an extension of the brand's sundial logo, gliding silently across the dial to quietly record the passage of every moment.

Crafted from 904L stainless steel, the watch features a 40mm case diameter and is powered by a Citizen Caliber 8210 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve. It is fitted with a sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 100 meters.

Midnight is a mirror of time, a tribute from CHÉN STONE to those who cultivate their spirit in the dark. The all-black dial is as profound and boundless as the midnight sky, with fluid textures rippling beneath the pure dark surface—each intricate variation like a faint wave stirring in the night, evoking the drifting trails of stardust across the vast cosmos. On the dial, the markers and hands are meticulously forged from luminescent material—concealed in pure black by day, as subtle as shadows; by night, they emanate a crisp, cool glow, illuminating the darkness one by one like the stars of the Big Dipper. It is a complete dialogue with time: under sunlight, it is a serene black; in the night, it becomes a navigator of light. Between motion and stillness, the undercurrent of the fluid textures and the clear radiance of the lume converge once more at the midnight hour. Those who wear it deeply resonate with the quiet discipline of finding brilliance even in utter darkness.
