30 Years at the pulse of time
Watches can be far more than just chronometers for telling the time. Their design and form also command acknowledgement and can signify the general behaviour and attitudes of the wearer. We have been designing and producing watches of proven Swiss quality for 30 years now to act as advertising media for companies, products and enterprises. Practically any idea can be implemented by a broad spectrum of technicians and thanks to our many years of know-how. The name of your company, an image of your product or your logo can thus be carried out into the world in this impressive and elegant manner – by means of those people who you really appreciate – all wearing watches on which they can depend. CHRONO AG is producing watches for worldwide famous brands.

A Building with a longstanding tradition
CHRONO AG as a 30 year old efficient family business moved into the former building of the national watchmakers school in Solothurn. The building was built between 1915 and 1916 by the watch manufacturer Stadler. In 1930 it was taken over by Solothurn’s local authorities, which later handed it over to the first watchmakers’ school in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Between 1930 and 2002, watchmakers were trained at the prominent corner building in the north-west of what was known as the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland. In 1972 the school was nationalized, and the building was subsequently rebuilt several times to meet the ever-changing requirements. In 2002 the school moved to Grenchen, and the traditional building was put on the market for sale. It was bought by Chrono AG, which fully renovated and rebuilt it. The building’s long watchmaking history and tradition were crucial factors influencing Chrono AG’s decision to move out of its cramped premises in Loretostrasse.
