The CRONOSTONE Story: Tradition, Precision, and Passion for the Craft
Welcome to a world where time never loses its value and where precision work receives the finest technical backing. Behind the online store cronostone.sk stands a rock-solid family tradition represented by its founder, Tomáš Herczeg. We combine deep craft knowledge with modern distribution technologies to supply watchmakers and goldsmiths with the very best equipment for their daily work.
⏳ From a Traveling Merchant to a Leader in Online Sales
Our story began back in 2001. At the time of our inception, we became one of the first specialized companies in Slovakia to distribute professional tools and spare parts for watchmakers and goldsmiths.
  • Beginnings in the Field: In the early days, we built our reputation face-to-face – through a traveling merchant who brought goods directly to master workshops across the country. These years gave us invaluable know-how and a deep understanding of our customers' true needs.
  • The Digital Evolution: To respond more flexibly and serve a broader spectrum of customers, we successfully transformed our business into the e-commerce landscape in 2009. By launching our online store, we made premium watchmaking and goldsmithing components accessible literally within a few clicks.
⚙️ Massive Stock Inventory Ready for Your Workshop
We understand that when repairing a precious timepiece or crafting jewelry, time and the availability of the correct component are absolutely crucial. This is why we maintain an immense inventory directly at our warehouse in Rimavská Sobota:
  • More than 1,500 unique product types (ranging from watchmaking tools and specialized machinery to the smallest spare parts).
  • A stable stock of approximately 10,000 product units ready for immediate dispatch.
  • We continuously expand our range to include technological innovations as well as components for both modern and antique timepieces.
💎 More Than an E-Shop: We Are Hands-on Experts
Unlike typical online retailers, we actually understand the products we sell. Tomáš Herczeg is a highly respected, foreign-trained master watchmaker, a holder of the prestigious EUROCERTIFICATE, and an expert in repairing luxury and vintage watch brands (including Rolex, Omega, and Breitling).
By bridging our active, professional repair practice at hodinarstvo.eu with our commercial distribution at cronostone.sk, we know exactly which tools deliver results under real workshop conditions. We only sell products that we would confidently stand behind in our own workshop.
OUR CORE PILLARS AND VALUES
  • High-Quality Products: We carefully select reliable materials, tools, and spare parts from renowned global manufacturers to ensure the long-term durability of your work.
  • Best-in-Class Customer Service: Drawing from over 30 years of practical experience in the industry, we can provide you with professional guidance when choosing the right tool or component. Our support does not end when your package is shipped.
  • Fast Delivery: We process all orders immediately, working exclusively with verified couriers and pickup networks to ensure your instruments and components reach you as quickly as possible.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us since 2001. We are proud to be a stable partner in supporting your precision work.
