CHRONO CLASSIC “SPACE IL”
MDM.333.SPACEIL.ST.42.BK
Beresheet Lunar Lander
When the Beresheet spacecraft launched on a friday, it was one cargo among many in the SpaceX rocket, sharing space and cost, but not our imagination. No, our full attention was on the cosmic side table. In the Tödistrasse 48, everyone at the atelier was on the edge of their seats. From Zurich, full of excitement, a rocket, with our watch, was launched it accompanied Bereshit for two months untill it touched down on the moon in April 2019.

Chrono Team SpaceIL
SpaceIL is the first privately financed moon landing mission in history. The Israeli company has reached the moon, and only got to know the full rigidity of the lunar surface through an engine defect shortly before landing. We believed in this tough team in 2013 and supported the mission, creating a unique Moonwatch. Maurice de Mauriac will continue to be a partner of SpaceIL, and since launched the second generation Moonwatch in April 2019.classic simple steel pushers
Non-screw pushers or just simple pushers (as we call them) are smooth and make for a sleeker appearance. The stop function is activated simply by pressing down on the pusher. Landed in Zurich
There is not only a man in the moon, but also a Swiss man on the moon. With our Moonwatch, the whole of Zurich, indeed the whole of Switzerland, has been on the moon and then ended up back in our studio. Join us and experience the moon land mission in a conversation with Daniel, Massimo or Leonard Dreifuss.Chrono classic, caseback
Our display back case uses a blue anti-reflective sapphire crystal and thus allows for an unobstructed view of the pulsating caliber. One has the feeling that the soul of the mechanical automatic movement can both be felt and seen. The watch is alive. Together with the possibility of the custom labelled rotor, each watch becomes a truly personal gift – even to oneself. ETA 7750 Movement
After the takeover by ETA, the Valjoux 7750 was re-named the caliber ETA 7750. This is quite possibly the most successful automatic chronograph movement of all time. The caliber stands out due to its high degree of accuracy and robustness. It has 25 stones, a ball-bearing mounted rotor, and a uni-directional winding mechanism. The 7750 has a 1/8-second counter, a 30-minute counter, a 12-hour counter, 28,800 half oscillations per minute and a power reserve of ca. 44 hours. The loss of accuracy is 1-6 seconds per day. Movement revisions are recommended every 3 to 8 yearsTOP Execution

Special Edition
From a Swiss flying squadron, who wears our watches at supersonic speed, to the depths of the Read Sea. Our watches have gone to the moon, they have been present when you have been chasing felt balls, they have plunged down mountains with you, rowed the Atlantic, conquered the desert and starlit stage. They are your accomplice to some of the most extreme areas in the world.. This is not just a given It is a collaboration in which two names proudly adorn a watch. The collaborators can be world-famous or local celebrities. For us they are our heroes. One for all and all for one.

We loved the idea of being able to go to the Christmas market without having to worry about whether the weather would allow it or not. That’s why we’re part of the Christmas market in Zurich’s central station hall this year.
We cordially invite you to share the special atmosphere of this market with us. Let’s breathe in the Christmas air together, enjoy the special atmosphere of this hall, and have what matters most—a good time.
You can also get the big MDM newspaper 2026 from us here. Why are we emphasizing this so much? Come and get it, then you’ll know.
See you later!

and the whole Dreifuss family
Enjoy the final supermoon of 2025 🪩 - with the matching watch.

Carlos Leal lives life at his own pace – with our watch
Musician, actor, nomad: Leal doesn’t think in terms of categories, but in terms of movement. Growing up in Lausanne as the son of Spanish immigrants, he experienced the tension between family warmth and Swiss precision from an early age – a tension that shaped his creativity.
As a hip-hop artist with Sens Unik, he made his mark on the sound of the 1990s. Leal continued to follow his inner rhythm – into acting. Snow White was his breakthrough, followed by international productions such as Casino Royale and engagements in Hollywood.

A border crosser with a sense of rhythm – Carlos Leal
Some people wear time like an accessory. Others feel time as an inner pulse – rhythm, attitude, energy. Carlos Leal is one of the latter.
His path is not a straight line, but an elegant curve through life – sweeping like the hands of a watch. It is precisely this attitude that connects him to us and our watches. Carlos wears our moon phase not as a status symbol, but as a companion to an attitude: attentive, curious, always on the move. An artist who doesn’t measure time, but lives it – and thus fits in perfectly with us.

BERN POP-UP
15 .09 – 31 .12
Location: Uhrsachen, Theaterpl. 1, 3011 Bern, Switzerland
In Switzerland, Swiss watches are not particularly striking. Unless, of course, it’s a watch that speaks to you in the Swiss dialect. We’ll be showing you this watch and other horological surprises at our pop-up store in Bern!
THRYVE Concept Store
01 .10 – 01 .02
Location: Bärengasse 16, 8001 Zurich
Concept stores are very special places in themselves. So we present ourselves there in a very special way. With the smallest watch boutique in the world. You can “talk” there with the concept watches from our City Date collection. And gaze at other watches that simply stare back at you in a relaxed manner.
