Hmmm... Chronoswiss rebrand itself from " Swiss made " to " Made in Germany "
-
thought all this while is made in munich?
i heard my friend said chronoswiss timemaster sales at cortina...
50+10% discount
-
I think it was "Swiss Made" but not 100% sure...
Chris, thanks for sharing...would really like to see one jumping second ;)
-
I read about Chronoswiss as Germany Made, next to GO, AL&S, Nomos.
-
If you check their early models, all dial comes with printed ' Swiss Made ' near 6 O 'clock' . I google for more info and this is what it comes out ' The factory is located in Munich/Germany, but since the watchcomponents are manufactured in Switzerland the company is entitled to use 'Swiss Made' on the dial. '
I used to like its ' Delphis ' model , but after closer look , the watch doesn't look as refined as other swiss brand even those entry level . Any one of you who ever hold one in your hand will probably agree with me.

Yeah! I have to agree with this...I too have the same feeling/experience..hopefully their own movement will be much better ;)

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a jumping second? Does the jumping second make the mechanical watch look like a quartz with the tick tick second hand movement?

If I recall correctly, the Habring uses a vintage movement, the Doxa/Chezard 116 in the watch. It's the vintage movement which comes with the jumping second feature.
-
yes... the doxa jumping second is famous...
-
Any advantage is having a jumping sec?
-
Not sure really the advantage..but from a mechanical watch point of view, it is complicated enough to control a second-hand move every 5 seconds...I'm sure the escapement wheel is "special" in this type of watches...

as a non technical guy.... i do not think u hv an advantage on that....
like will have more friction....
