Chronoswiss is a Swiss watch manufacturer based in Lucerne. The company was founded by Gerd R. Lang in 1983 to make mechanical timepieces.[1] Prior to founding Chronoswiss, Lang had gained significant experience in manufacturing movements for other major brands. The watches use bought-in movements.[citation needed] Chronoswiss produces about 7,000 watches per year. All watches are hand-finished. While many of the movements used in Chronoswiss watches are based on the Enicar 165 movement, the Chronoswiss versions feature significant improvements, both technical and aesthetic.
As a brand valued mostly by collectors, Chronoswiss watches generally sell at the low end of their price range at auctions.[2][3]
In 2012, Swiss entrepreneur Oliver Ebstein, and his wife Eva bought and took over the management of Chronoswiss.[4] The headquarters are located at Lucerne, Switzerland, and open to visitors.
