To say it loudly and clearly: in the more than 430-year history of the portable watch there has never been an instrument like this. This pronouncement concerns the design, the equipment, and the technology in equal parts – all of which is so exceptional that it can only have come from the Munich watch fabrication Chronoswiss – behind which stands Gerd-Rüdiger Lang, an imaginative perfectionist with great experience in watchmaking. His long, upwardly mobile career, his extensive love of the chronographic profession, and his passion for fast vintage automobiles have made him well known for timekeepers of various markedness. This includes pocket watches as much as regulators, board watches, and – last but not least – wristwatches. The knowledge and talent he has carefully collected through the years has now led to a spectacular world premier by the name of Wristmaster, which debuts at Baselworld 2008.
