Chronoswiss is a Swiss (formerly German) watch manufacturer in operation since 1984.
Foundation
In 1982 the watchmaker Gerd-Rüdiger Lang founded this company in Munich. Chronoswiss is specialized on mechanical wristwatches 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 „Régulateur“, a wristwatch with regulator dial based on the model of precision pendulum clocks. A pocket watch “Regulateur” with a Minerva calibre was also made.
Chronoswiss 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.

Since 2012 under new ownership
In 2012, Swiss entrepreneur Oliver Ebstein and his family took over the brand. Since 2014, the company has been headquartered in Lucerne (Switzerland). They remain committed to the philosophy shaped by Lang, but now vary it with three-dimensional dials, innovative materials, and architectural design. The timepieces are manufactured in small, exclusive series at the Lucerne studio.
2014: An in-house guilloché and enamel workshop is established. 2023: New manufacture calibers are introduced.
Modern Mechanical is not just a slogan — it is our philosophy. Because true innovation does not come from turning our backs on the past, but from the courage to build upon it.
At Chronoswiss, we combine the depth of traditional watchmaking with a bold, contemporary design language. Oliver Ebstein, Owner & CEO of Chronoswiss
Colorful, unconventional design

It is striking that, under the new management and following a transitional phase (see the Sirius series), Lang has now moved away from its previously rather traditional design—which was inspired by classic pocket watches—in favor of a bold, modern, colorful, and at times even shocking design.
