3mm profile
Thin enough that your hand does not notice it is there.
A simple problem, solved simply
Two hard surfaces, pressed together for hours a day, thousands of times a week. Described that way, the everyday marks on a laptop palm rest stop being a mystery. ChronoPad® is the straightforward answer: a soft, low profile layer placed exactly where the bracelet meets the machine. It installs in minutes, adds almost no height, and needs no maintenance.
- Helps reduce metal-to-laptop contact
- Precise fit on modern MacBooks
- A softer rest for the wrist
- Removable without residue when used correctly
The problem
Protect your IWC and your MacBook
The mechanism is not complicated. A metal bracelet or clasp rests on an aluminium palm rest while you type. The contact is light but constant, and constant is what matters: it is why the marks appear in the same two places on every well-used laptop, and why a bracelet spends its working life against a machined edge.
ChronoPad® interrupts that contact with a soft, low profile layer at the point where it happens. It does not change your typing position, your posture, or the look of the machine. It removes the one variable causing the wear.

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 professional environments
Clean design that stays out of the way
ChronoPad® is intended for desks where things are chosen for a reason. It is deliberately plain: a flat, low profile surface shaped for modern MacBooks, with nothing about it asking for attention. Once it is in place, the only thing you should notice is that your wrist has somewhere softer to sit.
It is comfortable over long working sessions, applies in minutes, and can be removed without leaving residue when used correctly. It behaves the same in an office, at home, or travelling.
