A Heritage Forged
in Precision
For nearly two centuries, CHRONOS has been the silent guardian of moments that matter — from the wrist of explorers to the pulse of visionaries.
The First Workshop
Master horologist Émile Chronos establishes his atelier in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. His first pocket watch, the Solstice, features an unprecedented 72-hour power reserve that astonishes the European courts.
The Tourbillon Breakthrough
The Maison unveils its first flying tourbillon, a technical achievement that redefines the boundaries of mechanical accuracy. The complication remains the cornerstone of every CHRONOS grand complication to this day.
The Meridian Collection
Introducing the world's first waterproof wristwatch with a perpetual calendar — the Meridian. It becomes the standard-bearer for sport elegance, worn by aviators and Arctic explorers alike.
The Calibre Chronos 1968
After eleven years of development, the manufacture completes its first fully in-house movement — the Calibre CH-68. An ultra-thin automatic caliber at just 2.4mm, it sets a benchmark that endures for four decades.
The Celestial Equation
The Celestial Equation wristwatch debuts — a grand complication displaying the equation of time, sidereal hours, and a rotating star chart. Only 25 pieces are crafted, each requiring 14 months of hand-finishing.
