    • Chronoswiss

    Chronoswiss is a Swiss watch brand and was founded in 1983 by Gerd Lang. Prior to launching Chronoswiss, Lang had gained significant experience in manufacturing movements for other watch brands. All Chronoswiss watches are hand-finished; while many of the movements used in Chronoswiss watches are based on the Enicar 165 movement, the Chronoswiss versions feature notable improvements, both technical and aesthetic.

    WATCH REVIEW

    Borrowed Time: Chronoswiss Sirius Flying Grand Regulator

    The regulator dial is one of those niche styles in the wristwatch world. It never really had a “moment” but it’s been around for quite a while, and many watch brands have at least one in their portfolios in the interests of broadening their appeal. However, none have embraced the regulator style more than Chronoswiss, the maker of the watch reviewed here, the Sirius Flying Grand Regulator.
