Yes, they have fallen off the radar, a bit; not quite the same as it used to be under Lang
Chronoswiss got me into the PuristS (now WPS) back in 2003, when I was searching for a watch.
Then I bought one, the classic Regulator (as we spell it in English)
Then my wife gave me this for my birthday, 15 years ago.

They came to my local dealer (G-R Lang and daughter) and I was able to meet and talk with them.
A prototype, decorated watch
Art called a meeting at the Rainbow room to meet with the Chronoswiss sales director at the time, whose name I have forgotten.
Then the Langs sold the company. A few years later I went to a trade show and saw the new line-up.
The same, but not the same (nice cuff-link)
Your taste may vary.
The new watches are even more daring:
And I see our old friend Beat, formerly with Ochs & Jr, is now the man to talk to at Chronoswiss.

Chronoswiss was my first love when I ventured into watches
I always believe Gerd-Rudiger Lang should receive much more credit for reviving the Swiss watch industry. Chronoswiss made mechanical watches interesting and affordable to the masses.
Superb and very relevant post, awesome watch, wonderful pics 👍👏👏
Many thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
