HISTORY OF KRONOS
Kronos was founded in 1930 by Carlos Vendrell. He was an enterprising merchant from Barcelona with a long family tradition in watchmaking that began in the nineteenth century.

His technical and commercial expertise led him to undertake the huge challenge of creating his own watch brand. He started producing clock collections made by hand in his own workshops. Thanks to trade agreements with Swiss and German manufacturers, they provided him with machinery.

Carlos Vendrell´s vision for the future also led him to develop numerous mechanical pocket watches and wristwatch collections, which were not in common use at that time.		 A short time after, outstanding agreements with leading Swiss industries strengthened the Kronos brand in the market. Swiss industries began to produce watches following the instructions of Carlos Vendrell.

These agreements strengthened Kronos and Luis Vendrell, the son of Carlos Vendrell, took over the expansion of the family business.

His objectives were very clear: that Kronos would always be a brand with its own personality and character, well-known for producing very special watches recognised for their touch of exclusivity and originality, avoiding any idea of mass production.
These principles remain in force today and continue to inspire new generations in the 21st century.
