0.5mm profile
Thin enough that your hand does not notice it is there.
Polished surfaces and hard edges do not mix
A polished bracelet is the first thing to show its history, and a laptop palm rest is an unforgiving place to rest one. ChronoPad® introduces a soft, low profile layer at the point where the two meet, so an elegant watch is not spending the working day against a machined aluminium edge. It fits cleanly, keeps a minimal look, and takes minutes to put in place.
- Helps reduce contact on polished links
- Discreet fit on modern MacBooks
- A softer place for the wrist to rest
- Comes away cleanly when used correctly
The problem
Protect your Cartier and your MacBook
Refined watches are worn to be seen, which means they are worn at the desk as much as anywhere else. The complication is that a bracelet and clasp rest directly on the palm rest while you type, and polished surfaces record every small contact. The same is true in reverse: an aluminium laptop picks up scuffs and dulled areas exactly where a wrist and a metal bracelet land each day.
ChronoPad® helps reduce that everyday contact with a soft, low profile layer placed precisely where it is needed. Nothing is hidden and nothing looks bulky. You simply stop having to choose between wearing something you like and keeping two finishes in good condition.

A Perfect Fit
Place. Rest. Type
Step 1
Wipe the palm rest clean
A dry, dust-free surface helps the pad sit flat and stay put.
Step 2
Peel the backing off
Remove the film without touching the adhesive side.
Step 3
Stick the top edge in place
Line up the top edge, then smooth it down to avoid bubbles.
Step 4
Fold the corner over the edge
Fold the corner of the ChronoPad® over the edge of the palm rest and press it down.
For a considered workspace
Understated protection that suits the desk it sits on
ChronoPad® is intended for people who care how a workspace looks as much as how it works. It is a plain, low profile surface rather than a statement piece, designed to fit modern MacBooks without interrupting the lines of the machine. If you would rather not see the accessory at all, that is exactly the intention.
It stays comfortable through long stretches of typing, applies in minutes, and lifts away without residue when used correctly. Whether the desk is at home, in an office, or in a studio, it keeps doing the same quiet job.

That is the idea. ChronoPad® covers the area where your wrist naturally rests, which reduces direct scraping between metal and the aluminium palm rest.

ChronoPad® is available in Space Black, Silver and Midnight, and is designed to blend in with MacBook finishes, so it protects your palm rest without looking out of place.
We recommend applying the ChronoPad® carefully the first time. Depending on how long it has been attached, repositioning may be possible, but for the best finish it is better to align it correctly before pressing it down fully.
Strong or aggressive cleaning products may affect the ChronoPad® or its adhesive. We recommend using a soft cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals.
