Upcoming Trade Shows Munich, Germany for Clocks

Munich remains an active, influential hub for the clock and watchmaking industry in Germany as the home base for several high-ranked watchmakers. One of the biggest players to come out of the city is Chronoswiss. While the name promises Swiss craftsmanship, Chronoswiss proudly traces its roots back to Munich, where it was founded in the early 1980s by the visionary Gerd-Rüdiger Lang. The company weathered the challenges of the quartz crisis, which laid waste to the majority of Germany’s watchmaking industry and has remained strong since. During these trying times, Chronoswiss made a bold decision to exclusively use mechanical components in its watches. Investing in traditional craftsmanship definitively paid off as it earned Chronoswiss the coveted Swiss Made label as its components were mostly sourced from Switzerland. Despite relocating its headquarters to Lucerne, Switzerland in 2012, Chronoswiss remains an important chapter within Munich’s legacy in the watchmaking industry. At the core of Chronoswiss’ ethos is a dedication to modern mechanical watchmaking. Combining horological expertise with nonconformist designs and modern materials, Chronoswiss timepieces are a celebration of classical artisanal mastery in the 21st century. Each watch is meticulously crafted to embody the brand's core values of innovation and design. One of Chronoswiss’ most iconic collections, including Sirius, Timemaster, and Régulateur, is renowned for its distinctive features such as the onion crown, knurled bezel and screwed spring bars. These design elements, coupled with modern materials and artisanal skills, set Chronoswiss apart in an increasingly mass-produced world. A standout innovation from Chronoswiss is the Regulator watch. Inspired by the precision of atomic clocks, Chronoswiss introduced the concept of separating hour and second indications with a large central minute hand. This unique design, reminiscent of a dashboard of time, exemplifies Chronoswiss’ inventive approach to watch decision that push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking.
