Impressive enough through its history and long-lasting watch manufacturing tradition, Chronoswiss is a remarkable brand of watches on its way to even greater success. The timpieces released on the market by this brand were regarded as pieces-de-resistance for the watch *** artistry and definitley must-haves for the collections of the watch connoisseurs. The designers from Chronoswiss base their entire artistic vision on quality, in terms of materials and mechanisms, and on sophistication, when it comes to designs. A watch that speakes in favour of the brand is the Chronoswiss Perpetual Calendar watch released on the market last year and which enjoyed much appreciation for the specialized audiences. The watch displays an extremely complicated mechanism sheltered by the most appealing and irrestistible design.To expand a bit the success of this watch, the designers have decided to make an improved verision in 2009, recurring to materiels of the best quality in the creation process of this watch. An white gold case, an elegant black dial and the stylish black leather strap are just some of the elements that leave bewildered when seeing this watch for the first time. But only those who know little about watches could think that the design is all there is at this watch. The new Chronoswiss Perpetual Calendar watch is equipped with some of the most progressive technical movements in watch manufacturing, providing its owner with the highest level of functionality and accuracy.The round and slim case of the Chronoswiss Perpetual Calendar watch is made entireley of 18 K white gold, hinting to a watch of superior quality, and is united with the black alligator strap through the famously shaped Chronoswiss lugs. The size is not very big, only 40 mm in diameter, as the designers have chosen to go for a more stylish aspect, rather than a more mascultine one. Chronoswiss’s iconic crown is also present in the lateral side of the 3 o’clock position and is made of white gold. It was almost predictable that the designers from Chronoswiss would choose to use a black dial, to create a beatiful contrast between the highly sophisticated white gold case on the black theme of the dial. The dial is equipped with silver white Roman numerals at every hour and four sub-dials, each of them indicating a certain function. The most complicated function, that of the moon-phase is displayed by the sub-dial located at the 6 o’clock position. The dial is very legible, the elements composing it being well positioned.Regarding its technical performance, the Chronoswiss Perpetual Calendar watch works on a C.127 caliber, being made of 50 hand-assembled components, a mechanism which has based its manufacturing process on a Debois-Depraz calendar module. This advanced and highly complicated technique is used to control the main functions which make up a perpetual calendar watch and offers the best accuracy one can ask for. The mechanism also provides a 30 meter water resistance, and it’s quite protected by the sapphire crystal covered case back and top.The new Chronoswiss Perpetual Calendar watch is definitely appropriate for those who don’t see in watches just some fancy wrist accessories, but for those who can appreciate the artistry involved in watch manufacturing, the talent, the passion and the technical excellence know-how that stand behind a famous wristwatch, or a famous house of watch manufacturingChronoswiss Perpetual Calendar Watch Pictures Gallery

Swiss watch exports have grown by almost 17% in Janaury this year in comparison with January 2010 according to a report this Tuesday by an industry group. The figures were not as strong as the last two months but this is due to the seasonal and Christmas sales from the end of 2010. Demand for Swiss watches fell in Italy but grew in Germany, but demand was at its strongest in Middle East countries such as Dubia and Qatar and also in the Far East in China and Hong Kong. According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch industry the total exports were 1.1 Billion CHF (Swiss Francs), which equates to 1.16 billion USD in January this year which is 16.9% higher than the previous year. This comes at the same time as figures released for Swiss exports also showed marked improvement on last year with exports growing 9.4% in real terms, proving that Switzerland is one of the few countries to escape the current economic recession relatively unharmed. Exports grew by almost 35% to China, there was a 10.2% increase in exports to Germany and U.S. exports also grew by 6.7%. Increased demand for Swiss products across Asia also helped to increase growth.
