Chronoswiss Company History
Chronoswiss is a relatively new kid on the block as far as watch manufacturers go. The company was established in 1982 by Gerd-Rudiger Lang who gave it the name Chronoswiss as a conjunction of the words "Chronos" (meaning "Time" in Greek), and "Swiss" for the motherland of mechanical watch making.
Even as a child, German-born Lang had a passion for mechanical things. He pursued a career in watch-making and was obsessed with tracking time precisely. In 1983, this watchmaker extraordinaire founded Chronoswiss in Munich, Germany, and embarked on a quest to make the most extraordinary mechanic timepieces. He purchased limited-edition- and out-of-use movements that he could embellish and improve. His watches were immediately recognized for their classical elegance and technical prowess.
Although Chronoswiss headquarters are actually in Munich, Germany, they use only watch parts manufactured in neighboring Switzerland. Most Chronoswiss watches have a very familiar shape & style: large round cases, fluted bezels, bulbous crowns, and sapphire glass case backs.
In 1988, Chronoswiss surprised the world when it unveiled its stunning regulator wristwatch-which carried the oversized regulator dial that heretofore had only graced the faces of pocket watches and clocks. In 1990, the brand began to manufacture its own models and in 1992, it again caused an international stir when it presented its patented two-handed Rattrapante.
Indeed, Chronoswiss has regularly unveiled mechanical masterpieces that have garnered the brand international acclaim. Among them are the patented, reversible Cabrio watch, which was launched in 1993, followed a year later by the patented Grand Regulateur. In 1995, the Opus automatic skeletonized chronograph made its debut and in 1996, the Delphis watch with a unique system of analog, digital and retrograde time-displays made a profound impression on the world of mechanical watchmaking.
Lang relentlessly pursues the fine art of mechanical watchmaking and has thereby propelled his brand into the 21st century with a gusto that is, perhaps, unmatched. Chronoswiss believes in exclusivity and produces only about 7,000 watches per year for global distribution.
Every component of Chronoswiss watches is produced in Switzerland and watches are hand finished to Lang’s exacting specifications. Obsessed with the measurements of time intervals, Lang has affectionately been called "Mr. Chronograph" by friends and colleagues.
In his most recent unveiling the Chronoscope Lang pays homage to the pioneering achievements of 19th-century watchmakers who dedicated themselves to developing split-second timing. For this first chronograph with regulator dial, Chronoswiss has reworked the plate of the movement in order to mount the switching mechanism at the front. The three chronograph functions (start, stop and return to zero) are triggered via a push piece that is integrated into the winding crown rather than by separate pushers.
In 1996 they received the first prize award for "Watch of the Year" for their Opus, the first skeletonized automatic chronograph. Chronoswiss tries to stay exclusive by only producing about 7,000 watches per year.
