Our Legacy
In the quiet valleys of the Jura Mountains, where time seems to move differently, our story began in 1865. What started as a modest atelier has become a testament to the enduring power of patience and precision.
We don't chase trends or shout for attention. Our timepieces are conceived for those who understand that true luxury whispers rather than screams. Each watch that bears our name carries with it not just hours and minutes, but generations of knowledge passed down through steady hands and discerning eyes.
"We measure our success not in quarters, but in centuries. A timepiece should outlive its owner, becoming a bridge between past and future."
— Henri AURELIA, 3rd Generation Master Watchmaker
Our Legacy
Founded in 1874 by Henri Valois, Maison Valois began as a small atelier in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland. For five generations, our family has dedicated itself to the art of horology, creating timepieces that transcend fleeting trends.
Each Maison Valois watch represents more than mere timekeeping—it embodies the quiet confidence of those who understand that true luxury speaks in whispers, not shouts. Our clients are collectors, connoisseurs, and custodians of tradition who appreciate the subtle perfection found in every detail.
In a world of mass production, we remain steadfastly committed to the artisanal methods that have defined Swiss watchmaking for centuries. Each timepiece requires over 200 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring that when you wear a Maison Valois, you carry with you a piece of living history.
"We do not chase time—we honor it. In every tick lies a story, in every tock, a tradition preserved."
— Henri Valois IV, Master Watchmaker
Our Legacy
Since 1954
In the quiet valleys of the Jura Mountains, where time moves differently, our story began.
Three generations of watchmakers have passed down the sacred art of horology, each adding
their chapter to our enduring legacy.
"We do not measure time. We preserve moments that matter."
— Henri Dubois, Founder
Today, we remain committed to the principles that defined our beginning: uncompromising
quality, timeless design, and the quiet confidence that comes from true craftsmanship.
Each timepiece is not just a watch—it is a testament to the enduring values of a bygone era.
Timeless Precision. Enduring Legacy.
Our Legacy
In the winter of 1865, amidst the snow-capped peaks of the Jura Mountains, a young watchmaker named Henri Chronos established what would become Switzerland's most discreet luxury manufacture. Unlike his contemporaries who sought the spotlight, Henri believed true luxury spoke in whispers, not shouts.
For five generations, the Chronos family has maintained this philosophy, creating timepieces not for the masses, but for those who understand that true sophistication lies in restraint. Each watch that bears our name represents 160 years of accumulated knowledge, passed father to son, mother to daughter, never compromised, never rushed.
"We do not make watches for time. We make time for those who understand its true value."
— Henri Chronos, 1865
Today, CHRONOS remains family-owned, producing fewer than 5,000 pieces annually. Each watch is still assembled by a single watchmaker, from first component to final regulation. This is not mass production disguised as luxury — this is luxury in its purest form, reserved for those who appreciate the difference.
