\"Historic
The marine chronometer is at the heart of Wempe\u2019s maritime history.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Rooted in Hamburg<\/span>

Before satellites,
there was precision.<\/h2>

At sea, accurate time was essential for determining longitude. The watchmaker\u2019s precision and the navigator\u2019s skill went hand in hand.<\/p>

Chronometerwerke was founded in Hamburg in 1905. When Wempe acquired the company in 1938, maritime instrument making became part of its own watchmaking tradition.<\/p>

That heritage lives on in ship\u2019s clocks, barometers, comfortmeters and chronometers. Instruments with a clear purpose \u2013 and a design equally at home in a yacht\u2019s saloon or a maritime interior.<\/p>

1905<\/strong>Chronometerwerke is founded
in the port city of Hamburg.<\/span><\/div>
1938<\/strong>Wempe acquires the company
