Inside the studioFour ways to lose track of time

Assemble complex calibers

At your wooden workbench, under a magnifying lens, use tweezers and screwdrivers to seat gears, bridges, escape wheels and balance springs.

Real mechanical physics

Test builds live. Follow energy through the gear train, hear the escapement tick, and fine-tune your regulator for true accuracy.

The Master's Vault

Collect and display marvels, from 18th-century pocket watch movements to multi-axis tourbillons and moon-phase calendars.

Tabletop standby

Lay your device flat and your desk becomes a skeleton clock, all polished steel and mesmerizing gear choreography.

About usThe people behind the loupe

⚙️ We are a small crew of watch lovers and app makers who fell for the quiet drama of a ticking movement, and wanted everyone to be able to hold one.

🔧 Our mission is simple: bring the patience, precision and beauty of the watchmaker's bench to your screen, with no clutter and no rush.

⏳ With Chronos 1790 you assemble calibers piece by piece, tune real escapement behavior, and curate a vault of historic and modern marvels, even as a desk clock.

🕰️ Master the gears, and time becomes something you craft.
