To mark the 30th anniversary of its founding in 2013, Chronoswiss, relaunched their legendary Regulateur to pay tribute to the ticking figurehead of the brand – in the shape of the Regulateur 30. This anniversary watch is actually an untypical Regulateur, very surprising in that it includes a window at the 12 o’clock position. It is here that the hour is placed within a digital display.
The minute display has moved upward a little bit, intersecting the display of seconds. As an exclusive anniversary model, the Regulateur 30 will be available only in a limited edition of 130 pieces in a red gold case and 300 pieces in a stainless steel case. The watch face has a lavish barleycorn guilloché pattern cut into the pure sterling silver dial and emanating from its center. Both versions also contain a chessboard guilloché pattern within the minute and seconds sub-dials. This timeless aesthetic is completed by thermally blued hands, which have been ground by hand and thus display precisely the right length for the dials’ displays.
Chronoswiss was founded by master watchmaker Gerd-Rüdiger Lang and his wife in 1983. Since February 2012, it has been under the ownership of entrepreneurial family Ebstein. Chronoswiss specializes in the manufacture of high-quality, mechanical Swiss made wristwatches. The independent family business employs 30 people and annually manufactures some 4,000 timepieces. These are exported to 26 countries, where they can be purchased from 300 select specialized dealers. The company headquarters are located in the House of Chronoswiss at Lucerne (Switzerland). There, visitors are welcome to experience live watchmaking and traditional craftsmanship such as high fire enamel and guilloche à la main.
