What does everyone think of Chronoswiss? I stumbled upon them a couple of years ago and heard some good things. In looks, they present themselves not unlike IWC in a way but more price themselves similarly to Breitling (at least in Australia).

The Lunar Chronograph is a nice looking model as is the Grand Regulateur amongst others. I'm not in the market for one at the moment, more following up on a curiosity.

Very good value for money, I've considered a couple in the past and am still seriously tempted by one of their skeletons - Opus and Pathos are gorgeous.

Gerd Lang has been recognised as one of (if not THE) pioneers of the mechanical renaissance and he has brought a lot of firsts through Chronoswiss. They have led the way in a lot of trends - the regulator being maybe the most obvious example, and have very good quality at a reasonable price - especially for a manufacture.

Never paid them much attention, but because of this thread I've had a look at a few online today (thanks guys, I'm supposed to be saving money :oops: ) and I have to say they look impressive. I particularly like the look of the Grand Regulateur.
