Yves Doumergue KRONOS – Control the Hands of a Borrowed Watch (Gimmick + Mini-DVD)“The ability to control time at your fingertips. … The gimmick is incredibly well made and is ingenious. It is very small and completely invisible… I believe this is a contender for trick of the year… it is worth the money no matter what anyone says!” — Christopher Williams, Magic Café (first detailed review)“A dream of a mentalist… usable on the great majority of analog watches (close to 100%). … Excellent experience of mentalism and the paranormal. When you perform it, you see their astonishment… everything is examinable because you do it with THEIR watch.” — Virtual Magie review
Borrow any spectator’s analog watch, seal the stem with tape (if you want) just to prove no one can wind it -- and then command the hands to stop, speed up, or jump forward—even spinning visibly right in front of them. The watch stays in their hand the whole time and can be examined at any point. That’s Yves Doumergue’s Kronos: a tiny, discreet electronic gimmick that turns an ordinary wristwatch into a multi-phase psychokinetic time miracle. Impromptu, visual, and works on almost any analog watch.FREE Shipping (USPS with Tracking) for a limited time + priced at a steep discount to sell fast. Only one available, so act now!The Effect: What The Audience Experiences
A rare and powerful psychokinetic time effect from Yves Doumergue. With Kronos you can stop, speed up, or advance the hands of almost any borrowed analog watch—while the spectator holds it, the stem is taped, and everything remains fully examinable.
What You Can Do
- Stop the second hand on command
- Make the hands race forward or spin visibly
- Advance the watch to a named time (or a period the spectator chooses)
- Perform a multi-phase routine that builds in impact
- Optional final phase where the watch returns to the correct time in the spectator’s hand
The effect looks completely impromptu. You use their watch. No switches, no replacement, and the gimmick stays discreet the entire time. Works on the great majority of analog wristwatches (digital watches are not compatible). Does not damage the watch.
What’s Included
- Kronos gimmick
- Instructional mini-DVD (performance + detailed explanation; English subtitles available)
- Originally packaged in a metal case with electrical tape
Originally retailed around $250. This is the classic Doumergue release that improved on earlier “fast-forward watch” effects by giving full control (stop, speed up, or move the hands) without needing a card case or bulky apparatus.
Quotes & Testimonials
“What a Wonderful Magical Effect! … This effect is streets ahead of Futour – you can make the watch stop, change time, and move forward all at your command. The gimmick is in plain sight all of the time and is really an amazing piece of micro electronics. … It appears to be very reliable and works every time. This is something you will really use. Highly Recommended!”

“Kronos is definitely a perfect ‘impromptu’ looking miracle routine… Perfect for magicians and perfect for mentalists, Kronos is VISUAL. … You want it to seem impromptu. Kronos seems to involve only spectator’s watch and you can do a real 4 crescendo phases routine.”
