Watchmaker in the KRONICS atelier
The Atelier

A house of two cities.

Origin

KRONICS was founded in Lagos in 2021 on a single, unfashionable idea: that a Nigerian house could produce watches that stood on equal footing with the great maisons of Geneva and Glashütte.

We do not import Chinese movements and stamp our name on the dial. Every KRONICS calibre is assembled in a shared workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds — the historical heart of Swiss watchmaking — and finished, cased, and quality-checked at our atelier in Ikoyi. The straps are cut and stitched in Kano from Nigerian leather cured to our specification.

01

Design

Every reference begins in Lagos. Drawings, then models, then a single prototype worn for six months before a line is committed.

02

Assembly

Movements are hand-assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds by watchmakers who have made this their life's discipline.

03

Finishing

The final passage happens in Ikoyi. Each piece is numbered, tested, and signed by the watchmaker who releases it.

A KRONICS timepiece
The Guarantee

A watch is not sold. It is entrusted.

Every KRONICS piece carries an unlimited-lifetime servicing covenant. Bring it back in ten years, in thirty — we will keep it running for as long as the house exists.
