Press FAQ.

Fill in the sample request form above or email press@chron.watches with your publication name, editorial deadline, and the model you'd like to borrow. We reply within 24 hours and dispatch within one week of your deadline date.
Can I visit the atelier for a feature story?
Yes. Atelier visits for editorial purposes are welcome on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:00–16:00 WET. Email us at least two weeks in advance with a brief about the story. We can arrange a watchmaker interview and bench access for photography.
Is the press photography rights-cleared for editorial use?
All photography in the press kit is cleared for editorial use in print and digital publications with appropriate credit ("Photo: CHRON."). Commercial use (advertising, sponsored content) requires written approval.
Do you offer exclusives?
We offer first-look exclusives on new releases to one outlet per region. If you're interested in covering a new model before announcement, reach out to press@chron.watches at least four weeks ahead of your planned publish date.
What is the correct brand name and capitalisation?
The brand is written CHRON. — all caps, with the full stop. Not "Chron", not "chron.", not "CHRON" (without the stop). The founder's name is Inês Mota (note the accent on the 'I'). We're happy to review galleys for accuracy if requested.
