Cornelius & Cie - merging of ideas

Cornelius & Cie uses vintage watch movements in proprietary cases of classic but innovative design. Every single part of the movements is embellished by hand, skeletonised, engraved by Kees Engelbarts, and rhodium or gold plated, offering customers extensive possibilities for very special personalised engravings of movements.

The top of the barrel will be engraved by Kees with a text or a picture, turning each watch into an extremely personal one. The engraving can daily be seen through an opening in the dial.

Each Chronosome 46XY watch is presented in a specially designed box including a watch winder.

Cornelius & Cie guarantees its watches for a full 3 years. Servicing will be rapid and will not last longer than 2 weeks.

2008 - 2010

The Chronosome 46XY watches are the first models produced by Cornelius & Cie in 2008. In 2009 Cornelius & Cie will introduce a sportier version of the Chronosome 46XY with automatic movements and steel cases. Designs for a ladies' Chronosome 46XX have already started. In 2010 onwards the introduction of watches with more complicated movements is scheduled.
