Today we're taking a closer look at Chronoswiss and the evolution of the regulator watch.The regulator is the signature complication that defines Chronoswiss, and that makes this brand unique.Many pieces in Chronoswiss collection bring an almost futuristic aesthetic to a design that debuted hundreds of years ago in master clocks that allowed pocket watchmakers to quickly set their timepieces.
