About Us

Our brand Cronjager is inspired by the character Captain Cronjager from homicide in the full-length detective story The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. Cronjager is described as 'a cold-eyed hatchet-faced man, as lean as a rake and as hard as the the manager of a loan office. His neat well-kept face looked as if it had been shaved within the hour. He wore a well-pressed suit and there was a black pearl in his tie. He had the long nervous fingers of a man with a quick brain. He looked ready for a fight'.
The Big Sleep was published during 1939 and it is set in Los Angeles and Bay City. The novel is immortalised in a film by the same name that starred Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
