Established in 1983, in the midst of the quartz crisis when only visionaries continued to believe in the mechanical watch, Chronoswiss has grown into an exclusive, high-end brand with a nonconformist approach that is firmly anchored in both German and Swiss watchmaking history. Entrepreneurial spirit and congenial inventions such as the sapphire glass back encasing the movement, an unmistakable design and the innovative interpretation of the regulator complication made Chronoswiss unique and very successful. Today, the Lucerne-based company still is an independent, family-owned brand and creator of modern mechanical watches. It utilises a mix of the newest technologies and classic artisanal handcrafting such as handmade guilloché, skeletonising and enamelling to create timeless, yet distinctively contemporary horology with nonconformist designs.
