Chronoswiss North American Distribution Undergoes Restructuring

To supervise the current restructuring of luxury watch brand Chronoswiss in North America, Hartmut Kraft has moved from Germany to Princeton, New Jersey.  Kraft, the former Executive Vice President of the Munich-based luxury watchmaker, is now the CEO of Chronoswiss North America.  

Chronoswiss was founded in 1983 by Gerd R. Lang, a former Heuer watchmaker and chronograph specialist who sought to create exceptional mechanical timepieces during a time in which battery-powered quartz watches threatened to completely destroy the future of mechanical ones.   Even today, Chronoswiss annual production is exceptionally small at approximately 7,000 pieces.  The various components of Chronoswiss watches are produced in Switzerland, then hand-finished and assembled in Germany.
