The modular system was the answer. Elegans is where that answer meets Scandinavian minimalism — a watch that exists because time should never limit your style, and your watch should not either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Elegans is Swiss Made, powered by a Ronda 702 movement, and finished with K1 sapphire-coated glass. The case is available in 36mm and 42mm with a 20mm band width. Three leather straps come included — black, white, and brown — chosen for their versatility across formal and everyday wear. Every watch is individually numbered and produced in small batches in Switzerland, arriving with a certificate of authenticity and a 24-month international warranty. Production takes nine to twelve months. Christopher Butendorff does not consider that a delay — it is the reality of Swiss craftsmanship made to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegans is built on the modular system: the watch head separates from the strap without tools, allowing you to move between the three included leather straps or any compatible 20mm strap in the collection. A single watch becomes several. The change takes seconds. This is not a feature added to a finished watch — the watch was designed around it from the first sketch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegans is made to order and individually numbered — created for those who value timeless design, considered craftsmanship, and the freedom to adapt without compromise. One watch, three leather expressions, each designed to move effortlessly between everyday refinement, business, and evening occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the expression that suits the moment. Change it when the moment changes. Keep the timepiece that connects them all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36mm \/ 42mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBand width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e316L stainless steel — Silver \/ Black PVD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK1 sapphire-coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRonda 702 (Swiss Made)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraps included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenuine leather ×3 (Black, White, Brown)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 ATM (rain resistant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndividually numbered, small batch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24-month international\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCertificate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade to Order in Switzerland\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Christopher Butendorff watch is made to order and produced in Switzerland.

The watch head releases from the strap by hand, and a new strap clicks into place — no tools, no jeweller visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the case sizes refer to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers — 24mm, 36mm, and 42mm — refer to the watch head (the case that holds the dial and movement), not to wrist size. These are the available case sizes across the collection. A smaller case offers a more understated presence on the wrist; a larger case makes a stronger statement. Choose the case size that matches how you want the watch to look and wear. Elegans is available in 36mm and 42mm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Butendorff","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55739916910932,"sku":"ELE-BLK-RND-36","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Round \/ 42 mm","offer_id":55740196258132,"sku":"ELE-BLK-RND-42","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55890677301588,"sku":"ELE-BLK-SQ-36","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ Square \/ 42 mm","offer_id":55890677334356,"sku":"ELE-BLK-SQ-42","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55739916943700,"sku":"ELE-SLV-RND-36","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Round \/ 42 mm","offer_id":55740196290900,"sku":"ELE-SLV-RND-42","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":55890677367124,"sku":"ELE-SLV-SQ-36","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Silver \/ Square \/ 42 mm","offer_id":55890677399892,"sku":"ELE-SLV-SQ-42","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897264058708,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Round \/ 42 mm","offer_id":56897264091476,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897264124244,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Silver \/ Square \/ 42 mm","offer_id":56897264157012,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Round \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897264189780,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Round \/ 42 mm","offer_id":56897264222548,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Square \/ 36 mm","offer_id":56897264255316,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Black \/ Square \/ 42 mm","offer_id":56897264288084,"sku":null,"price":9995.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/2750\/0628\/files\/Elegancefyrkantvit.png?v=1778652753","url":"https:\/\/christopherbutendorff.com\/products\/elegans","provider":"Christopher Butendorff","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
