Information
has glosseng: Chronovski Inc was founded in 1932 by lawyer Joseph Chronovski in Prague. At that time, as Czechoslovakia had a large armament industry that needed accurate time-keeping precision, Joseph realised the potential of striking out as an indigious Czech watchmaker. In the mid 1930s, Chronovski was a well-known name in the city of Prague. Alas, with the collapse of the country in the late 1930s, Joseph Chronovski had to flee the city to Switzerland where he worked together with some of the more established Swiss watchmakers, until the war was over. In the 1950s, together with his whole family, he perfected the skills of watch-making whilst travelling around France, Germany and Switzerland. However in the 1970s, due to the assault by the quartz revolution, the Chronovski family, like the rest of the European watchmakers, faced huge financial losses.
