The "Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings," a reader-selected series, was launched in conjunction with a regular feature in Chronos Japan. The system is quite simple: webChronos readers are asked to vote for their No. 1 watch from among the top 10 watches in Chronos Japan's rankings. This time, the theme was "Excellent Watches from Non-Watch Brands," and we carefully selected outstanding models from the many models offered by non-watch brands. Voting results were tallied from April 13th to 19th, 2022.
The much anticipated results are announced!
