Chronoswiss — The Maestros of Modern Mechanical Watchmaking

This is a perfect point in the story of Chronoswiss to introduce Oliver Ebstein — an entrepreneur who, along with the Ebstein family, acquired Chronoswiss and has steered the brand into new waters as CEO. For Ebstein, the way forward is clear: “For us, the product always comes first. We put all our heart and energy into creating timepieces that are truly unique and cannot be found anywhere else. We have improved on literally all levels: design, handcraft, distribution and communication. We have a strong focus on digital communication, which allows us to reach new audiences and get in touch with them directly.”

The current era of Chronoswiss is proving fruitful, and continues the brand’s clear vision and legacy, but updated for the modern era. A key example of this is the Pink Panther, more properly known as the Flying Regulator Open Gear Pink Panther, which was released to great critical acclaim in 2021. Ebstein says, “The success of the Pink Panther and many other colorful and daring creations we released during the recent years has shown us where we want to position ourselves. We are creating modern mechanical timepieces for those who want to stand out from the masses. Our watches are not there to please everybody, but to fascinate our clients. All of our recent releases are strictly limited — meaning that the owner of a Pink Panther, for example, does, on the one hand, have an extraordinary watch regarding the design; and on the other hand, only 49 others exist. This means we have a very high degree of exclusivity and desirability.”
