Description

This is a very special episode, and one that’s been years in the making. What began as a first meeting in Dubai has grown into a deeper appreciation for a brand that truly stands apart. Today, we sit down with Oliver Ebstein, CEO of Chronoswiss, to explore the company’s journey from its founding during the quartz crisis in 1983 to its role today as the bold, independent voice in the industry that delivers staggering quality and artisanal flair at incredible prices.

We dive into how Chronoswiss blends traditional craftsmanship like guilloché engraving and fire enameling with cutting-edge techniques such as CVD coating, creating those signature color-shifting dials that have become a hallmark of the brand. Oliver also talks about taking over the company in 2011, coming from a background outside of watchmaking, and how passion rather than industry convention guided his decisions. Finally, we touch on the latest releases, including the Pulse GMT models, which are one of the main releases for  Watches and Wonders 2026.
