**Chronoswiss** is a [[Swiss]] (formerly German) watch manufacturer in operation since [[1984]].

===== Foundation =====
In [[1982]] the watchmaker [[Lang, Gerd-Rüdiger|Gerd-Rüdiger Lang]] founded this company in Munich. Chronoswiss is specialized on mechanical [[wristwatch]]es with Swiss quality movements by [[ETA]] as well as on the basis of old calibre stocks by [[Enicar]] and [[Marvin]]. Also two own calibres are made. Since [[1988]] all cases come from in-house production. A particular success was the „[[Chronoswiss Régulateur|Régulateur]]", a [[wristwatch]] with [[Regulator|regulator dial]] based on the model of precision pendulum [[clock]]s. A [[pocket watch]] "Regulateur" with a [[Minerva]] calibre was also made. Chronoswiss now exports to over 40 countries worldwide. Each year about 7,000 watches are sold in about 500 stores worldwide - in Paris, London, New York and Tokyo.

At the beginning of [[2012]] Chronoswiss was sold to a Swiss entrepreneur family, with [[Ebstein, Oliver|Oliver Ebstein]] taking over as CEO. Chronoswiss moved to its new headquarters in [[Lucerne]], [[Switzerland]] in [[2014]].
