Catorex Krono Classic 42 Smoked Red Dial Watch Review
Catorex is another of those old names in Swiss watchmaking that you’ve probably not heard of until now. The manufacture is still operated today by the Cattin family, which has managed the company for six generations, starting in 1858. My understanding is that, for most of the brand’s life, it was mainly a supplier to other companies, producing watches for third parties as opposed to watches with the Catorex name on it.
