THE OFFICIAL WATCH BUYER'S GUIDE - Elite Traveler

chronoswiss
The chronoswiss brand is a true product of passion. founder Gerd-rüdiger lang was a car racing fan who became the official timekeeper for
formula 1 races in the 1970s. He got his start after attending watchmaking school in 1956, becoming a master watchmaker in the early 1960s.
By 1983 he was making mechanical watches in his own factory in munich under the chronoswiss name. Since 1987, most core lines of the chro-
noswiss collection have displayed four main elements: a knurled bezel, an onion-shaped crown, screwed-on strap lugs and a sapphire glass
back.

making good on his promise that chronoswiss would be manufacturing its own movement within two years, Gerd-rüdiger lang introduced the
new Sauterelle, the first model with an in-house manufactured calibre—“made in Germany”—thus bringing the brand closer to becoming a true
manufacture. The Sauterelle is available as a classic three-hand watch, with a black or white dial, or with a regulator dial that harks back to the
brand’s origins. The 44mm case comes in either 18K red gold or stainless steel on a black leather strap ($17,900).
