Hi Frederico, I have a premodel of Chrono Suisse, my father bought from Mr.Lang in the eighties, one or two years before the Company was founded. It has a beautiful red Gold case and a HP Zenith 146 handwounded movement, ehich was the last handwounded Chronograph from Zenith before ElPrimero came out, the automatic Version from Zenith. If you like to see, I send you Picture. Regards from Germany !
I nearly bought one of the late 1990s models a few years ago. I wish now that I had. Really classic and individually looking. Nice to wear a watch where one will not meet another owner in one's lifetime
I do remember a few years ago, watching Gerd Rudiger Lang talking about the brand, I always loved that high quality individual uncommon wristwatch and Chronoswiss definitely is on my connoisseur list.
I have 2 of them. A jump hour and the klassik both in 18k. I love them both and get comments on them whenever I sport them.. Large but tasteful, very fine watches.
Excellent review Federico. I became aware of the brand in the mid-90's, and loved what they did. Wonderfully guilloched dials, finely crafted cases, clever and unique design. They were, as you said, quite popular with hard-core watch enthusiasts. I lived in Chicago at the time, and there was only one jeweler (Smart Jewelers) that I knew carried them. When I moved to the Ft Lauderdale area in 2003, there was a jeweler in Weston that had a stainless steel Delphis. My wife fell in love with this watch, but shortly thereafter the jeweler ceased to carry the brand. A few months back I finally bought her an 18K Rose gold Delphis: it's really a beautiful watch. Their chronographs are also beautifully done, as is anything with a regulateur dial. I don't know if Chronoswiss will ever have a significant presence in the US, or how much longer they will exist as a brand. Most people have never heard of them, or think of them as a low-tier fashion brand. But some know better. Thanks!
I was the one who left the comment on your video! i'm part of the online 'fragrance community'..... I only just discovered the watch community two weeks ago but already someone has made a video based on my suggestion! i'm feeling well chuffed about that :P
Federico, Great video. Chronoswiss is a favored brand of a work friend. I was caught off-guard when he first mentioned them since as you outlined, I never see them advertised or worn.
5yrs late, but I'm loving Chronoswiss. Their watches are absolutely amazing. I love Regulators, and they've got some of the finest I've seen. Tourbillion Regulator, anyone?? 😍
Would love a 2023 take on the brand, interested to know what you think of the current offerings at the prices they are at. Some of them look a bit funky but they have a few beautiful watches out there.
Some very awesome pieces, I'd love one of these with the coin edging, syringe or cathedral hands, and big onion crown! Oris does some pieces like that as well.
In general, if they continue down the path they started on - impeccable craftsmanship for reasonable prices, i don’t see how they cant develop the same following that finally lead Grand Seiko to be distributed outside Japan. I imported mine before then, but they’re growing their presence steadily.
Prior to company being sold, In my opinion they made absolutely fantastic watches. The models from the new company clearly show lower quality. I'm still a huge fan. Wish they had better distribution In USA. I even volunteered to promote them on the West Coast. This is my most favorite brand.
Interesting video. I remember seeing Chronoswiss in the watch magazines maybe 15 years ago. They were beautiful watches. Their business model reminded me of Franck Mueller.....highly decorated and artistic pieces built around ETA movements. It's not a bad business model and Ill bet there's good demand at that price point. To the credit of Chronoswiss, I don't recall that they ever did gold plated crap like that wretched Frederique Constant, lol.
I have a Chronoswiss Regulateur (bought used), which I will never part with. It's such a wonderful, understated piece. I believe it uses an Enicar base movement, retrofitted with an auto winding system - which works amazingly well. Looking at Chronoswiss' current catalogue, I think they need to trim out the fat and focus on their best and iconic pieces, especially for the size of their market share and manufacturing. Great video BTW!
Hi, Federico. I had a bad experience with Chronoswiss in the 90s: the minutes hand of my CS regulator fell off near one week after I purchased it. It took sometime to get the watch back and the rep who handed me the watch commented on how bad CS' watches were put together. I sold the watch almost immediately for a fraction of what I had paid for it. No doubt that they were beautiful pieces; but from their rep's comment you can see that they had no brand management at all...
Ebstein bought them out many years ago. The two Langs gave it up. They used to loom like Breguet watches. Now they have taken a new direction with unusual colors.
I really appreciate the video. Excellent insight. I've been intrigued by the brand ever since I discovered them. Beyond their background story I had trouble finding any information on them. I really enjoy the flying regulator. Have you ever handled one in person?
I have a soft spot in my heart for Chronoswiss. I owned a Kairos for many years (longest I've ever owned a watch actually). Love their Breguet-esque look and the quality you get for your money. Their new Regulator is a nice model but maybe too expensive for what you get. Nice video - now I want to get another Chronoswiss! Cheers, John
As you know I like your content and style; Clear, on point and informed. I've seen very, very few ChronoSwiss watches here, really only a couple on the used market. I wonder if they are amongst the first bunch of company's to fall with the present re-shuffle in watchmaking? The industry is in some deal of trouble across the board as we all know. I didn't know about the problems with distributors, and the reasons for their demise. That was interesting. I think a number of Jewellery shops and AD's are going to reduce or stop selling so many brands, too. As the middle class drops away, which it's doing fast, along with the need and even desire for mechanical watches, some vanishings are to be expected. It would be an interesting topic for you to look at the survival-ability of certain brands/watch company's globally. Just a thought...no one wants a watch from a company that's teetering on the edge of absorption and/or extinction; no warranty or servicing=worry and a sense of being duded.
I have a Timemaster and just went to a show in Manhattan at Gotham Hall and saw many amazing watches. However, I went there to hold Chronoswiss Regulators and I was not disappointed. I am soon to be purchased one of their beautiful models - Flying Regulator Manufacture 1242.3-BLBL and cannot wait!!! It is a shame that they don't have local retailers though. Also, I met Mr. Epstein who was really quite nice.
What’s the deal nowadays with CS? I own a Timemaster Chronograph, the classic version (pre-2010). Tried to sell it a year ago, but turned out to be really difficult. Not big enough a name to get a decent price for. For this quality watch, I decided to hang onto it myself.
I'm considering the purchase of a pre-owned Chronoswiss Regulateur for the equivalent of US$2400. Can anyone advise on this price level and servicing options in the UK? Many thanks!
Chronoswiss, from it's inception, was a well regarded up and coming luxury brand. At least that was, until the brand creator and principal driver / well regarded watchmaker Gerd Rudiger Lang, sold the business to one Oliver Ebstein. Whilst G.R. Rudiger bought in ebauches and parts from the likes of ETA, Dubois Depraz and Kelek (just like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet do even today) and them modified them to suit (skeletonised, engraved and accurised them). The new owners have decided (in their words), to concentrate on making "beautiful dials". Aside of moving company HQ and manufacturing from Bavaria to Switzerland, they have closed down most of their. Dealerships and Service Centres Worldwide. From there on, the company went downhill. Where most Swiss watchmakers strived to consolidate and to bring large part of their manufacturing in-house, Chronoswiss is perfectly happy to buy in bits and pieces made by others.
they're not terribly interactive from what I've seen, but I've also never tried to interact. I like their work, but it's not in my budget. even if they were, there's others that I would buy first.. eg one of Sinn's. all that aside, they post frequently compared to some other small brands (eg Stowa, or even Sinn).
Nice video Federico, but you need to come down from the clouds(price-points) on your watch reviews and review more diverse priced watches. While I enjoy high-end watches, it is not everything in horology/watch collecting.
You may be right... But this is the part of the market I know. While TGV covers the more affordable. I cover the higher end (not always)... I think it offer a nice diversity in content...
Hey Federico, great videos! Please recommend a watch for me, I want the following, screw down crown, sapphire crystal, stainless steel, automatic, (40 - 41mm), day date, kind of a field watch for about $500.00. Thanks.
Here in Germany, Chrono Swiss has the reputation of being very unreliable in keeping time! Even though they took ETA movements, after being handled by Chronoswiss,forget about them. And they forced the one hand watch to much,forgetting that there are more buyers out there who would like the three hand face watch more. I think they deserved where they are now. And on ebay Germany, you get them thrown after you for little money 'cause nobody wants them ! Another thing that killed them was the brand Ingersoll! When they came on the market, you could get a skeleton watch for a fraction of the price of Chronswiss. Ingersoll flooded the market with skeleton watches. And soon after that if you were wearing Chronoswiss, you were asked if it was an Ingersoll. Looooool.
they used to be the darling of the watch world just a decade or so ago... had it's own forum on timezone and everything... once Gerd Lang retired, company switched owners, it just died. I know they are still around but it just isn't the same... lost that certain magic. it's too bad since they offered some very interesting watches. I still want to add a 80's Lang era manual wind Regulateur to my collection some day.
Their standard watches look fine. But those skeleton monstrosities look like something from Hublot. A brand which produces some of the most overpriced sacks of shit in the watch world today.
I own a Chronoswiss Orea (steel with Enamel dial). Brand was introduced to me by my watchmaker when i mentioned i was considering a breguet. I’m very happy with it - finishing is flawless, 25 years old now but running w/in 2 seconds per day, and serviceable by any good watchmaker. I truly hope the brand survives.
I have a rose gold Opus Skeleton, when I wear it I get a lot of comments of how good it looks. I have yet to get a negative comment since I bought it about 1o years ago.
Federico, you were going very well, until you mentioned that Chronoswiss did a "Quartz" Minute Repeater. It's not quartz! It's a Quarter Repeater, because it only tells you the hours and quarters. Chronoswiss was born in opposition to Quartz. Mr. Lang started Chronoswiss to preserve mechanical watchmaking techniques, it would be completely against the company ethos to have a quartz movement.
I own a timemaster with the big onion crown, all black, just gorgeous watch, comfortable, eyecatching, beautiful, i am glad to have one in my collection, i just one of my absolutely favorites watches.
Observatories and manufactures used to have regulator clocks as an accurate reference point for setting the time. - The first 3000 Chronoswiss regulator wristwatches came in stainless steel, steel/bronze, steel/gold, and all bronze cases. The movement was a handwound Unitas 6376Z. These first ones are quite hard to find. I guess whoever has one is keeping it.
I'm fortunate to own two watches from the very early 2000's that utilize Chronswiss cases (Kobold Phantom / Polar Surveyor). Thank you for video, I had no idea that they're kind of special...
Chronoswiss reminds me of one of many Swiss brands out there that just don't get enough credit in the trade. There are many who fall into this category.
Love your videos Frederico! The biggest thing that I found here where I live for a local jewrels is that myself I bring a unique design. Not too many business people look for a smart watch. So they look for a old fashioned watch rather than a smart watch!
I own a Blue Chronoswiss Sirius Flying Regulator in SS and Gold. I picked it up at Watchtime New York 2017 at their booth. It is finished magnificently. I wear it often and brings a smile to my face. They have a service center in NJ outside NYC. I agree it is a bit pricey for their new models but I would buy it again. I will get another Chronoswiss on the second hand market because I like them so much.
I have seen and tried on a number of their watches at a Chicago AD a while back. Have not been to the store in a while, not sure if they are still a dealer. Anyways, this brand always looked gorgeous to me but I never pulled the trigger. Thanks for the video.
I know some people are asking for you to review less expensive timepieces but please don't start reviewing steinharts orient and vostok Fed as great as they maybe. TGV compliments your channel perfectly for this market. Your channels combined work perfectly to represent all tiers.
This. There are already so many videos on affordable watches and less on high-end luxury. Federico has the expertise on the latter and touches on the key points so well.
Hi Frederico, I have a premodel of Chrono Suisse, my father bought from Mr.Lang in the eighties, one or two years before the Company was founded.

Thank you John. They did indeed use a lot of Enicar movements too...
Interesting video Federico. The name of this brand rings a bell, but I haven't take a closer look at their pieces. Maybe I should!
You absolutely should. Very interesting stuff...
I was looking for a Lunar and stumbled across the chronoswiss and bought a rose gold lunar, drop dead gorgeous!

Holy Shit. You're up to 13,000 Subscribers already. Well done.
I love my mint Regulateur!
Hi Federico, love your videos. I have a questión, what happend to Royce watces? My grandfather has one since the 70s and its great

Great Video! Federico, you are looking happier somehow? did you just get back from a great vacation? or did you just get a haircut or something?
Lol, had a nice shave and have had a little less work on my plate...

What do I think of Chronoswiss? Love ‘em.
So what I want to know is: Chronoswiss or Omega?
Both are great choices, Crono Swiss is a better bargain and way more beautiful...
Very interesting well done how about Burett ?
Never even heard of Burett lol... Any more info on them?
It's a shame so many great watch companies have to go down.
so much potential
Anyone has a Chronoswiss Digiteur here? Any comment on that model?
They post frequently to their Instagram account @chronoswiss_official
my favorite line is definitely the Regulator
Thanks for pointing that out. I will follow them
they're not terribly interactive from what I've seen, but I've also never tried to interact. I like their work, but it's not in my budget. even if they were, there's others that I would buy first.. eg one of Sinn's.
all that aside, they post frequently compared to some other small brands (eg Stowa, or even Sinn).
For a time I ranked them number one in the world.
Oh man this watch collecting is a mistake, I should have just stuck with the F91 lol
Thanks for introducing another interesting brand
lol, it get addicting right?
Say, Federico, any other watch companies on the road to perdition out there?
a ton... I think I may make this into a series
For those who like classic design they are a bargain under $2k
Pittsburg?!?!?
Nice video Federico, but you need to come down from the clouds(price-points) on your watch reviews and review more diverse priced watches. While I enjoy high-end watches, it is not everything in horology/watch collecting.
You may be right... But this is the part of the market I know. While TGV covers the more affordable. I cover the higher end (not always)... I think it offer a nice diversity in content...
Great video! I was wondering about them, since they made a nice moonphase chronograph that I like the look of.
That is one of their most stunning pieces...
ugh Panera's look so good when you have bigger wrists.
thanks ;)
Thomas k oh man, oh man! I'm foraging the Forum Shops later this month, but the highlight will be trying on a Pam 329 to see it on the wrist.
might buy one and strap it around my ankle
Hey Federico, great videos! Please recommend a watch for me, I want the following, screw down crown, sapphire crystal, stainless steel, automatic, (40 - 41mm), day date, kind of a field watch for about $500.00. Thanks.
Hi Jose,
Not really my area of expertise... But I love the Hamilton Khaki King in this range...

Their standard watches look fine. But those skeleton monstrosities look like something from Hublot. A brand which produces some of the most overpriced sacks of shit in the watch world today.
I see this brand all over Asia. My guess is that's their primary market
Really? I had no idea. Next time I am in Asia I will keep my eyes peeled...
Federico Talks Watches the last time I was in HK I saw them on Nathan road and in Seoul they were in the Hyundai shopping mall.
I have a Chronoswiss Timemaster I got as a wedding present.Love this piece, so glad to see it getting some love from you!
beautiful piece
I waa so close to buying a Chronoswiss Timemaster Big Date model CH3535. Wish I had.
I own a Chronoswiss Orea (steel with Enamel dial). Brand was introduced to me by my watchmaker when i mentioned i was considering a breguet.

Can't read it. It's beautiful but I just can't tell what time it is ok n any in person viewing
Federico, you were going very well, until you mentioned that Chronoswiss did a "Quartz" Minute Repeater. It's not quartz! It's a Quarter Repeater, because it only tells you the hours and quarters. Chronoswiss was born in opposition to Quartz. Mr. Lang started Chronoswiss to preserve mechanical watchmaking techniques, it would be completely against the company ethos to have a quartz movement.
Apologies, I only noticed now that you made a comment at the top of the video correcting this.
Hi Frederico! Take a look at our current collection and let us know what you think 😉
I love the Cabrio. On desired list
Had a Chronoswiss Regulateur about 10 years ago. Regret selling it.
why did you if you done mind me asking... What did you replace it with?
I own three Chronoswiss watches and love every one of them. They are beautiful and substantial. I hope the company succeeds.
Douglas Kostner Hi ! Isn’t it a problem to service them as then brand may not supply parts anymore ?
Love the Pacific Chronograph with the green accents, great looking watch.
Nice one Federico ! I never forget the Chronoswiss Wristmaster :)
I own a timemaster with the big onion crown, all black, just gorgeous watch, comfortable, eyecatching, beautiful, i am glad to have one in my collection, i just one of my absolutely favorites watches.
Very exquisite movements. That chrono is stunning!
A true beauty
Beautifully made, largely undervalued. Have the Triple Date and Delphi
I’m wearing a Timemaster and really love the timepiece. It is something special not for all
I own one and I love it
Hi Federico,
I think they should look for a man like Claude Biever for a brand re-start.
Best regards,
Claus
Claus-L. Müller Hard TO find haha. The man has done a rather nice job with TAG though
Im strugling to resist to regulator classic carbon racer in red andcarbon
Hi Fed... a video about the Blancpain story (JC Biver buying the rights to the name, etc) would make a great video - keep up the great work!
Absolutely, would also be very very interesting...
Observatories and manufactures used to have regulator clocks as an accurate reference point for setting the time. - The first 3000 Chronoswiss regulator wristwatches came in stainless steel, steel/bronze, steel/gold, and all bronze cases.

Best watch ever. Timemaster A. 5 stars. I love IWC and JLC ( and own a few)...But Mr. Lang was on the top of his game.
Chronoswiss reminds me of one of many Swiss brands out there that just don't get enough credit in the trade. There are many who fall into this category.
Love your videos Frederico! The biggest thing that I found here where I live for a local jewrels is that myself I bring a unique design. Not too many business people look for a smart watch. So they look for a old fashioned watch rather than a smart watch!
Very interesting Federico...you should do more reviews on lesser known brands.How about Vulcain next?
I almost bought a Chronoswiss Opus online about 7 or 8 years ago. Didn’t know anything about them but was drawn to the look.
Jack Zhu - i say get both. I love my seamaster pro just as much. Of course they serve different purposes
Was so close to buying a Chronoswiss Timemaster Big Date model CH3535. Wish I had done it
I like what they did with the movements but the name of the company is just...
I own a Blue Chronoswiss Sirius Flying Regulator in SS and Gold. I picked it up at Watchtime New York 2017 at their booth. It is finished magnificently. I wear it often and brings a smile to my face. They have a service center in NJ outside NYC. I agree it is a bit pricey for their new models but I would buy it again. I will get another Chronoswiss on the second hand market because I like them so much.
I have seen and tried on a number of their watches at a Chicago AD a while back. Have not been to the store in a while, not sure if they are still a dealer. Anyways, this brand always looked gorgeous to me but I never pulled the trigger. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Rich
FREDRICO would you know the story behind AP selling Gevril?
Sure, it would make a good video...
I know some people are asking for you to review less expensive timepieces but please don't start reviewing steinharts orient and vostok Fed as great as they maybe. TGV compliments your channel perfectly for this market. Your channels combined work perfectly to represent all tiers.

Luke C can't agree with this more. They each have their own niche
